Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run
comparatively slower. Standalone cards that are installed in
vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some
GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly. Intel integrated
chipsets featuring underclocked parts, such as the 945GU, GML,
and GMS, will not perform adequately.

Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA
TurboCache variants will have low settings selected, but
should run satisfactorily.

Please note that attempting to play the game using video
hardware that isn’t listed above may result in reduced
performance, graphical issues or cause the game to not
run at all.

The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.
