Can the Intel GMA 950 graphic chip set run Celestia?

Hello,

I tried using Celestia a few years ago, but at that time my laptop graphic chip set was not capable of running it. Now I have a Dell Latitude 620 with,

Adapter Type Intel(R) GMA 950, Intel Corporation compatible
Adapter Description Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family
Adapter RAM 224.00 MB (234,881,024 bytes)

Are there any Celestia demos or tests that I can run that will help me determine if this current graphic chip set will work with Celestia? Or, is there someone familiar with this chip set that can tell me whether or not it will work with Celestia? I'd like to know before investing my time in trying to get things to work.

Regards,
Awed

Awed,

EDIT: Assuming you're running Windows...
Celestia itself (the basic program) is only about a 13-16MB download and once downloaded takes about 30 seconds to install, so I suggest if you're willing to invest 10-15 minutes of your valuable time, you'll find the answer to your question.
