Hrnchamd notes in the MGE XE thread "requirements: Shader Model 3.0+ graphics card; integrated graphics probably won't work"
You can probably find your chip's specs to see if it supports that shader level
Although I've uses several laptops with it (3), and one was bought in 2008, had 218 megs of Vram, and was $400. However, a lot of motherboards REALLY skimp on integrated graphics, i.e. just enough to boot. I would reccomend looking up your motherboard and finding the graphics card it uses.
