Guys,

I play Madden 2005 and now 06 for gaming. That is just about it.

What would be a comfortable lower end minimum requirement that I could get by with and still play this on a laptop?
 
a 9700 would be fine, but how long do you plan on keeping the system? That might play into it down the road if you plan on keeping it for longer.

Well, probably will not keep it for a significant long time. But my plan, probably at least a year. Maybe two..


I notice some of them having Intel Graphics. Are these any good at all?

Would an ATI 7500 work?
Yes.

Minimum System Requirements
System: PIII or AMD Athlon 800MHz or equivalent
RAM: 256 MB RAM
Video Memory: 64 MB VRAM
Hard Drive Space: 2000 MB
Other: You must have a broadband (DSL, Cable, or faster) connection in order to play Madden NFL 06 online. Please note that dial-up (56k) connections are not supported by Madden NFL 06.

It just looks better with a better video card. A laptop with Intel GMA 900 graphics will look fine.
