Will this run SL?

[VanityStud]

My new computer has AMD Radeon HD 8550G graphics with up to 4206MB total graphics memory. Will this run Second Life alright? It's an HP laptop. I'll be using Firestorm viewer, not the downloadable viewer from SL.

Probably not.  Second Life does not do well with integrated graphics.  Better to get a computer with a discrete graphics card.

Looking at this review... http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-8550G.89651.0.html the reviewer mentions that is should be close to the following offering from AMD

This is a Class 3 Graphics Solution and as such may run SL adequately. Don't expect High or Ultra level graphics but it should be possible to run SL. Try it on an in-store demo.
