If someone has already asked this question, i am sorry.

i would like to know if 'Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950 Gaming/3D' is ok to run Secondlife.

Thank you very much :)

Hello dominiclw. Short answer is no. This card is no suggested for SL if we accept that Nvidia Geforce 6600 is the minimum level to run the application. If you need an economical graphics card a Nvidia GT500 series, sounds like an excellent choice.

The built in Intel wont treat you well :matte-motes-dont-cry:

If your on a really tight budget or dont have/cant buy a PSU that has the Connector to power a higher card something like this will achieve decent settings

If your on a budget but have or can get a PSU that will have a 6 pin PCIe connector this one will run at high settings with some eye candy enabled

The links are just for you too see. If your in the US those cards should still be available around the same pricepoint or slightly less.

I wouldn't recommend the 520 though its a 500 series the 440 will outperform it and they sit at a similar pricepoint.
