This is not my desktop computer, I know it wont run Crysis or probably anything in 3D. So Im thinking only older games or games like Peggle. It has no graphics card, but just an embedded graphics chip. (Intel GMA 4500M). I dont even know what that can do gaming wise or what I can run with it.

Thats why I posted this question. Games I like are FPS, Action, RPG, and RTS. But I am open for any game that is good. The operating system is Vista

So Im not sure what older games will run on that anyway, but if you guys know. Please share with me some great titles so I can do more than just surf, write, and play online Poker.

Thanks

It may run a lot of things, just give us example of what it can handle and we will give you back the games which will run (don't bother a spec as they don't mean anything) post on what resolution/settings and what fps original half-life run's there.. integrated graphics are weak but they still can run a lot of things..

hehe, that was my question. What games can it run. I dont know. Only thing I know it can do graphically is run Hulu in fullscreen. Fulltilt Poker, and some DVD's. I have not done any gaming on it, becuase I dont know what it can run. It is a Intel GMA 4500M, thats all I know. I guess I could run the origianal Halflife and see if its possible. But I wouldnt mind if I was just restricted to older games like the Neverwinter Nights series or Diablo 2 if it can run those.

I have no idea at this point what its capabilities are gaming wise, if any.

Thanks for the answer, I have been doing some research on google and everybody is asking if it can run WOW. I dont give a flying #$## about WOW. But if it can run that on low settings, I should have no problem running games that were hot about 5 years ago. 3D or 2D. Im gonna check out goodoldgames.com since they make sure the games run on Vista too which is another of my concerns.
