I have recently been considering buying Solidworks Student
edition. I don't want to buy it and find out that it doesn't work
with my computer. I have looked at the System requirements and it
looks like I should be fine. The thing I'm worried about is my
graphics card. Here are my laptop specs. Please let me know if I
will be able to run solidworks on it. Thanks for the help. Ethan

Your OS isn't supported (it needs to be a Vista business edition or XP Pro)
Your graphics card isn't supported/approved.
There's a pretty good chance that SolidWorks won't even load onto your system so, I guess the short answer to your question is no.
