Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run comparatively slowly.

Intel integrated chipsets featuring underclocked parts, such as the 945GU, GML, and GMS, will not perform adequately.

Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants will have low settings selected, but should run satisfactorily.

Please note that attempting to play the game using video hardware that isnt listed above may result in reduced performance, graphical issues or cause the game to not run at all.
The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.

I think I got that covered unless it won't support my 9800 gtx.
If it doesn't I'll be rather unhappy!

6 GB of harddrive space? I thought they said that Spore WASN'T going to be heavy on the specs. That's 2 GB more than Sims 2 and that was a pretty heavy game...

It must be all those doggone creature parts and textures. Plus the galaxy is a pretty big place to play in.
