Mobile Intel 4 Series Express will be an issue. Stick to older games. What are you interested in?

Im sort of looking for a fps, but also wouldn't mind a tps, a good sports game, or maybe even an rpg.

I have literally tried to play about all of these games and they all run way too slow even on low settings, like the first person to reply I need to run some older games.

The Half-Life series is a phenomenal FPS series. As for RPG, something like Dragon Age would probably work. You could blend FPS and RPG into something like Mass Effect 1/2, STALKER games, Borderlands, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and the list goes on. I don't play sports games so I can't help you there.BrickMcStick

Wait...what? If you had skimmed through the OP you would have noticed this: "Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family - 64mb dedicated"

On topic, take a look at the stereotypical suggestions of Baldur's Gate I & II, Planetscape Torment, Fallout I & II, Deus Ex, maybe CoD1, etc.
But seriously, that card looks really bad for gaming.

Half-Life, Deus Ex, Homeworld, Ground Control, Red Alert II, Diablo II, and Baldur's Gate II.

Baldur's gate 2, planescape torment

RPGs you should be able to run no problem

I'm an expert at older games, since that's all i can play with my netbook. Here are some that I have found to run amazingly and have decent story line

Return to Castle Wolfenstein
No One Lives Forever
COD 1
Medal Of Honor Allied Assault
AVP2
Half Life 1

Deus Ex, Morrowind, System Shock 2, Doom I+II, Half-Life, Counter-Strike 1.6 are all very good old games.

But seriously I'd upgrade that graphics card as soon as possible because that one is horrible.

Again...what?

He's using a laptop so he can't upgrade that card.* The game suggestions were solid though.

[spoiler] Technically there might be some solution out there, but the ones I've seen are either enormously difficult or painfully expensive. [/spoiler]

You can upgrade a laptop's graphics card, but its a lot (understatement) harder than upgrading a desktop computer so it'll require a professional assembler.

you can try to run Half Life 2, more likely sticking to cs 1.6 is the best option.

PS. next time you give us specs - please just the GPU, CPU and RAM memory :)

No, no, no.... Just about all laptop video cards are simply integrated on the motherboard (just like this one is), and there would be no expansion slot to use, which makes it literally impossible to upgrade.ProudLarry
