Intel graphics not supported. Sorry about that.

OK!thanks….
But if I buy a video card like nvidia and conect it in my pc…is this possible?

Those hardware specs look pretty underpowered to me. Are we talking about a netbook here?

no..its a PC…i know its not for 3d softwares…is it possible, like I said, to change my video card?

Sure, it's always possible, but you'll have to figure out which of the nVidia video cards work for your particular PC.

I have a quite old GeForce 7600, and it runs Houdini just fine. I use Linux but I expect windows would be OK as well.

Thanks!I can not imagine 3d without Houdini.I'll try a new video card.Maybe I'll post my first render!
