! Question Bout Graphics Cards!

I was wondering if there is a way to get my laptop, WindowsXP 512MB RAM ATI Radeon 9000 Mobility 2.8 Mhz, to run Maya 7. I've looked on Maya's site and found that my graphics card isn't compatible, just wondering if there is a way to work around it some way, or would i have to buy a new graphics card? Thanks for the help in advance

Use Maya
