That said, I can find no mention of graphics on the machine and even on my machine with a discrete graphics card albeit a mobile discrete graphics card, The Witcher 1 can have choppy framerates at times in Wine due to the performance reduction. Unfortunately, ultimately, I am forced to agree that it is unlikely the Witcher 1 will run smoothly on his machine under Wine.

And remember that your computer will have to exceed those minimum requirements to run the game under Wine.
