Irritatingly hard to find out what actual graphics chip it uses. So annoying when they just say "Intel HD graphics".
But yeah, it seems to be one of the older GMA chips. I was assuming it would have a HD3000 or 4000 :C
You might be able to get it playable by reducing the resolution right down (thereby just giving the card less to do). As to whether it's worth playing at that point...
Nowhere on the laptop does it say anything other than Intel HD Graphics. Not helpful.
I tried dropping the res to the lowest, 720x258 or whatever it was, and it was still slow. I'll have to venture into my attic to use my desktop computer. Not been up there for months :S
Haha, yeah, not as good an idea as I thought it was going to be. I think it was probably October I went up there last. Not the cold that's stopped me though, just can't be bothered.
Can you play it in a window rather than full screen?

I used it a long long time ago to play games on rubbish graphics. Might be worth a shot.

I assume I can just copy my L4D2 folder from the laptop to my desktop. It wasn't installed on there and said about 12 hours :S I don't think it gets a very good wifi signal up there :(
I copied the files over from the laptop. The closest to what you said was validate game cache, or something similar in the game properties, but I couldn't select it.
I tried to install it with the files in place and it took a while to discover existing content, but then deleted it and started downloading the game instead.
:( Are we better waiting for this game at a time when Smiffy has been uncapped and you're able to sit in your attic with something approaching a working install? :J
