No. This graphics chip isn't really up to playing the game.

Which EPs do you intend to install?

I'm not really sure. Would I be able to install any of them?
I don't mind running the graphics low or anything. . .

Such a shame. The rest of your specs are overkill for TS2 (massively so), your card is just letting you down.

If I play it what'll happen? Will it explode or something? o_o

Will your computer explode? No.

It'll just use all your computer's resources to even get the game to load (if it loads at all -- I understand that you have to be pretty tech-savvy to force it to do so), and your game will be at the lousiest possible settings. And your card won't last long before it overheats and you have to stop playing.

Hmmm... not quite tech-savvy enough myself to answer that authoritatively, but I do know that repeated and extended overheating is a Bad Thing generally. I would be willing to bet a fair amount of cash that it would cause permanent damage, but I'm not 100% certain.

However, if it's an integrated graphics card (most Intel cards are, I think) and it goes bad, then you need a whole new motherboard or even a new computer when your graphics card does die. So essentially, you're gambling the purchase price of a new computer that playing the game won't hurt things too badly. And that's not a bet I'd take.

I'm really sorry to have such bad news for you!
