I've gone to Zakum with 64MB and 128MB integrated graphics cards with no issues. The machines had a 1.6 GHz Centrino processor and a 2.0 GHz Intel 2 Core Duo processor respectively. Both run Windows XP and have 1GB RAM.
@ the OP--run dxdiag and click the Display tab. Your graphics card is listed there. The size for the card's memory (listed in MB) will be on there as well as the company name (Intel, NVidia, etc) post that info here, if you would.

Mileage varies with computers and graphics cards. Everything counts. If you have a high-end computer filled with crap and viruses running in background, performance will decrease a lot. I've seen it myself.
Anyway, what I meant for a decent graphics card is a card with enough juice to render zak heavy frames. All DirectX 9 video cards have enough juice for it, but most DirectX 8 and lower graphics card might lag you a lot, and might dc you because the graphics card cannot render that fast and it simply stalls.
Bottom line, most recent (within 3~5 years) computers can safely play in zak altar. As always, be sure to have NOTHING running when you play MapleStory. MS likes a LOT of RAM, specially in heavily rendered maps like zakum altar.
