Telling us how much video memory you have means nothing.

What's your specifications?

I would suggest CS 1.6, that would be the best game for you, since you have a outdated rig.

I can provide some recommendations based on the assumption that the rest of the computer isn't too hot, although the spec(s) you provided are a little vague.
All fun, enjoyable First Person Shooters.

- Half-Life

- Call of Duty + United Offensive

- Return to Castle Wolfenstein

- No one Lives Forever

- Aliens vs Predator (1 & 2)

- Medal of Honor: Allied Assault

- Battlefield 1942

- Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force

- Soldier of Fortune

- Unreal Tournament

- System Shock 2

  • Deus Ex
  • System Shock 2
  • Thief/Thief 2
  • Descent/Descent 2/Descent 3
  • Star Wars Dark Forces
  • Medal of Honor Allied Assault
  • Max Payne (it is a third-person shooter, but its similar to an FPS)
  • Return to Castle Wolfenstein

It's a last-ditch bottom-of-the-barrel 'can't get the other games to work and I need something to shoot!' kind of option. :D

You could give Chaser a go, I had a lot of fun playing it, plenty of weapons, its got a fairly long sp campaign and should run well with a 128 Mb gpu.

That's not entirely true. One can usually assume that a laptop with 128 megabytes of video memory has on-board video memory.

Well, I played Far Cry on my old PC with Celeron 1.7GHz, 512MB ram and Ati 9550 128MB. Can't remember if I player F.E.A.R. on the same PC or the next one I had TBH.
