What should I do about my laptop's Video Card?

I want to play this game "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" but my laptop's Video Card cannot support the game.

Here are the system requirements for my laptop to be able to run the game.

OS: Windows XP/Vista/7

Processor: 2.0Ghz (?)

Memory: 2048MB

Disc Space: 500MB

Video Card: Radeon X1000/GF 6

My video card is Mobile Intel(R) GMA 4500MHD

What can I do about this?

& what's the difference between Radeon X1000, GF 6 & video card?

    Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about your laptop. Try playing the game on a desktop PC, if you have one. If it doesn't run even there, desktop PCs can be easily upgraded.

    The Radeon X1000 and GF 6 (short for GeForce 6***) were series of graphic cards or video cards from ATI and Nvidia respectively.

    From what I read here:

    http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Graphics-Media-...

    You might want to forget about gaming in general on your laptop and look for something else. This link is from a German language site but I do find their harsh assessments to be reasonably accurate. I have limited my exposure to laptops in the past due to this type of issue.

    Good luck.
