Im loaded with an ATI Radeon xpress 200 series(64 mb) with a 1.8 GHZ and 441 RAM

So. My game collection is Call of duty 1/2

BAttlefield 1942,

Rome total war

Winning eleven 9

Battle for middle earth

The game Im looking at are Silent hunter 3, battlefield 2, far cry and medieval total war.

So what are good games that I can play. It would be nice if I can get out of gun and war genre. Maybe a non war game(not sims, I have that) or a simulation game. Like Flashpoint, arma or america's army.

MAybe A flight sumulator, or maybe an"outside the box game" like something from japan or something.

lol, that is almost the same PC I have, the only diferrence is thatI havea 3.000 ghz CPU. You will be happy to know that this graphics card is quite a good one among the horrible graphics cards

Some great "modern" games I could play and run properly-

Half Life 2 ( The episodes still could run, but espcially ep2 lagged a little)

Warhammer: Dawn of War- Dark Crusade

Morrowind

Act of War - High Treason

Im not a hardcore gamer as you can see by my specs, but you can with that play pretty much all games from 2004-2006 at most

For example, Company of Heroes (2006) demo could not play it because it requires 1Gb of RAM

Dont buy games from this year or 2007, untill you upgrade your PC. Im about to do that, but not to play the new games per say, but simply to increase the performance of Act of War- High Treason

Which Im dowright addict at

You could play some Japanese visual novels. I did that for a while when my video card died. A lot of those have some pornographic elements though, so consider yourself warned. The two I liked most were Crescendo and Tsukihime.

Otherwise, try some adventure games if you have yet to do so:
-all the Monkey Island games
-Full Throttle
-Grim Fandango
-The Longest Journey

For a really "outside the box" game, check out Psychonauts. I think your PC can handle it.

If you are in the beta for GoG (link posted above) then get Freespace 2 as a space simulator or Descent 1/2. Both have combat in them and war but it is a totally different experience then what your used to.

Alright cool. Do you think my computer can stomach silent hunter 3 or 4.

And any other suggestions?

i know you said nonwar games, but hearts of iron is great. its addicting, and it came out in 05 with the graphics of a 1990's game. its really addicting, it may not even be fun at some points cause the tutorials sucked badly and i couldnt figure out how to send supplies to my troops in britain as the soviet union, but i've wasted a lot of time on it. its really deep though so be warned.

I'll also suggest to you: Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (great single and multiplayer), Descent 3 (a fps like no other), Return of Castle Wolfenstien (just a fantastic game), Morrowind and all the expansions (will provide countless hours of RPG gaming), Star Wars Jedi Knight Outcast (the online saber duels are simply awesome), Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (amazing multiplayer on this one) Beyond Good and Evil (a little known but incredible action adventure game), Call of Duty
