playing EA Sports w/o nVidia or ATI chipset
 

So somebody gave me one of those EA Sports 06 packs for PC as a gift - the one with like 5 games on it. Both my PCs have Intel graphics cards (because I don't really play video games) and when I try to run the games I can't. Graphics card can't be initialized properly.

All drivers up to date. Anybody else ever have this problem and find a workaround?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this, thought there might be some folks here with more specific experience than CTH.

Check the requirements for the games, I imagine it's higher than integrated Intel graphics if you want it to be playable.

yes that's what i'm saying, it requires nvidia or ATI chipset on the box. mine is a 900 series intel... no chance?

Some PC games simply won't work with an integrated graphics chip set.

You'd have to go pick up a card. Integrated graphics aren't going to run much. You can get a decent card for around $50.
