My 3 year old laptop's crappy Videocard is a shitty ATI Radeon HD 4200, but dark souls requires a "ATI Radeon HD 4870+" graphics card in order to run properly.
I've heard that people still run the game even with crappier graphics cards, but their fps is reduced to either 30 or 60 depending on settings.
Are there sufficient ways to lower the graphics settings for dark souls in order for me to play it without having my laptop potentially blue-screen or have it's Graphics card's capacitors blow up like pop-corn?

Try using dsfix and turning down some of the options there. Blighttown will wreck your PC either way.

I have a 4200.
It's such a shitty integrated card and I only recommend you get dark souls if you plan on getting a better PC.
I play Alan Wake at 800x600, but other every modern game I have to run at 640x480 and even then I get about below 20 FPS. It aint worth it if you don't plan on upgrading.
