Can I run 2D Chief X17 on an older Windows laptop with a GTX 560

Plan views, elevations, sections, no 3D camera viewing needed.  Is this possible?  I am typing on my old laptop, last used with something like X14.  The one shown in my sig went blooey on me, and I need to push out a job and only have this machine.

From what I can tell, I don't think it will work because it doesn't look like the GTX 560 meets our minimum system requirements.  You can find more information about our system requirements here:

Just as an FYI, there is no such thing as "2D Chief".  All of our elevation and cross section views are all created using the same 3D engine that we use for all of our other camera views.  Most dialogs, schedules, and library previews also use our 3D engine to generate the views needed.  It's pretty much impossible to not use our 3D engine at some point while using the program.
