We bought our kid a Dell Inspiron 2-in-1 2 years ago and it came with a Pentium processor with an integrated GPU. During the steam sale, I picked up Don't Starve Together, and was thinking of installing it on her unit so we can play together. I ran the system through Can I Run It and everything checked out of except for VRAM. Question is, how important is VRAM if everything else on the system checks out for this game?

With requirements of a HD5450 and 256mb of vram you should be fine. I couldn't find an Inspiron 2 in 1 w/ less than 4gb system memory. It's a pretty small download and light game I think the best thing to do is install and see if it plays.

On an IGP the VRAM listed is a minimum amount. If it needs more, it will borrow from main memory.
