Hey, can anybody help me with this...

I have:
Processor: Pentium Dual-Core CPU T4400 @ 2.20 GHZ
Ram: 3GB
Graphics Card: Mobile Intel 4 series express chipset family GMA 4500M
HDD: 250GB

I went onto "can you run it" and everything checks out apart from the graphics card, however all the "attributes" say it's fine if not better?
Which makes me puzzled as to whether or not I can actually run this game.

Thanks
Andy =)

    Your graphics card is an integrated one that's built into the motherboard. These are usually of lower performance and not optimized for gaming, hence why most game developers don't officially support those cards. So whether or not STO will run (and be stable and playable) on your system is hard to say.

    If you want to know for sure whether you can run the game before buying it I'd suggest trying to get hold of a 5-day or 10-day buddy key from someone and installing and playing the trial. That way, if the game turns out to be unplayable you won't have wasted any money.

    I would offer you my own buddy key but I just gave it away yesterday and I don't know anyone who has one spare.

    It's a shame that your system is a laptop, as otherwise you could upgrade it and add a dedicated graphics card if you really badly want to play the game, but as it's a laptop a gfx card upgrade is impossible afaik. :(
