Looks like you've got an 8800GTS, and believe it or not, that can blow away a lot of games released this generation. Though I'm pretty sure it should run TES IV: Oblivion better than that. :?

Anyway, if you're into RTS games I recommend Company of Heroes. Will run like a dream on your GPU and it's tonnes of fun.

If not, try The Witcher or Mass Effect if you want an RPG. For shooters, get the Orange Box. 5 games you haven't played yet it one package.

With 1Gb ram, I somehow doubt it.

Could you tell us more about your PC? For example, is your processor AMD or Intel and single or dual core? What about the graphics card? You said that it has 320Mb memory but what is the brand and model?

I said that because I don't know a single video card model other than the 320MB variant of the 8800 GTS that has that amount of VRAM.

My 8800GT 320, with 2gb RAM, and e6750 (OC'ed to 3.2), managed to run at a constant 60 fps on max at 1440x900, I would suggest another GB of RAM, which will give you a noticable performance increase across all games.

It's also possible that gormo has very ancient drivers which came with the card and that's the reason for the bad performance. Or then the processor is a single core. And of course, another gig of ram would help a lot.

yeah, i don't think any of the games that aliblabla recommended will run well on your rig (except the orange box, which is just about the best purchase anyone can make).

Upgrading a laptop is next to impossible for the tech incompenent.

In other words, you are stuck with what you've got. You should forget about Mass Effect, The Witcher and Company of Heroes for now. Rather look into games that were released between 2002 and 2005. Though Witcher and Company of Heroes should have demos you could download the check how they run on your laptop.

gormo4

well, it looks like the minimum requirement for mass effect is 1gb ram, so you'll definitely need more ram just to run the game. not sure if that will be enough for you though. :?

Minimum System Requirements for Mass Effect on the PC

Operating System:
Windows XP or Vista

Processor:
2.4+GHZ Intel or 2.0+GHZ AMD

Memory:
1 Gigabyte Ram (XP)
2 Gigabyte Ram (Vista)

Video Card:
NVIDIA GeForce 6 series(6800GT or better)
ATI 1300XT or better (X1550, X1600 Pro and HD2400 are below minimum system requirements)

Hard Drive Space:
12 Gigabytes

Sound Card:
DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card and drivers

Try some of the free games out there, since they aren't really all that demanding. There are some nice ones that have come out:

Psi Ops

Combat Arms

Area 51

Rise and Fall: Civilizations at War

Full Spectrum Warrior

The Suffering

Then, you can get GameTap and they have some nice free games:

Deus Ex (known as one of the best RPG games ever, or even the best)

Hitman 1 and 2

Second Sight

Psychonauts

Thief: Deadly Shadows

and more. Just go to gametap.com and you have to download the GAmeTap launcher where you have to download those games and to launch the games. Hope that helps.
