Of course not. There is no such thing as an Integrated Graphic Processor that is other than the lowest of low quality, certainly not to the equivalence of the game's minimums:

Mininum::
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 2.4 GHz or AMD(R) Athlon(TM) 64 2800+ processor or any 1.8Ghz Dual Core Processor or better supported
512MB RAM (768MB for Vista)
NVIDIA(R) Geforce(TM) 6600 or better or ATI(R) Radeon(R) 9800Pro or better

Recommended:
2.4 GHz dual core or better is recommended
1024MB RAM (2048MB for Vista)
3.0 Shader Support recommended. Nvidia Geforce 7800 or better or ATI Radeon X1800 or better

System Requirements:
  • Windows XP SP2 / Windows Vista
  • Processor: 1 .8GHz (2.4GHz for Vista)
  • 1GB RAM (2GB for Vista)
  • DirectX 9.0c/10 compatible video card with 128MB RAM and Pixel Shader 2.0
    (NVIDIA GeForce 6200/ATI Radeon 9000 or higher)
  • DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card
  • 8x DVD
  • 6 GB of free space
  • Keyboard and Mouse

http://www.hellgatelondon.com/

Not enough RAM. Also you should know that they made an error there because your card is the worst one ATI ever made that still can do Dx9's SM-2 shaders. The 9000, 9100, 9200, and 9250 are Dx8 parts, not Dx9. The 9600 SE was almost as bad. Not much better, but some.

Ok here goes.

If I JUST upgrade my video card, to say a 8800GT (rest of specs in sig), how will Crysis run in DX9? And do you think it's worth it for me to upgrade to Vista, are the graphical differences THAT apparent?

You shouldn't have problems playing UT3, is really optimized so it can be played on very old computers, and you have nice specs so you should be able to play it at medium/high, even on everything on high, but since the demo dont offer the very high options I cant tell.

COD4

Jericho

quake wars

battlefield 2142

blackwar1- hellgate london does run on your PC... i have tried on a 512MB ddr1 RAM and worked OK. also your video card is WAY better than whats actually necessary for this game, so she(your VC) will help you on playing smoothly)

by the way, i'm saying that cuz i have 1 pc with that config... and it runs, although the game is ****

My comp, according to dxdiag:

XP Professional SP 2
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.4GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 2048 Ram
Page File: 332 used, 3607 MB available
Directx Ver: 9.0c
Monitor: 22 inch Samsung
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT
Video Memory: 256.0 MB

Now there are a few games, that I want to play on high settings hopefully:

Crysis (think will need a new card and more ram)
Gears of War
Call of Duty 4
Orange Box
World in Conflict
Bioshock

These are ones, i can think of right now. Needless to say, a massive black hole is going to eat up my money, since i thinki will have to get a new video card and more ram.

For video card, i am thinking ASUS NVIDIA 8800 GTS 640MB FOR AUD $560
and Ram, KINGSTON 2 GB DDR2 667 MHZ 9 (2 of these, to make it 4) for AUD $ 145 each

What do you all think?

I just got guitar hero 3 for pc but when i try to run it it tells me that it has detected virtual drivers and does not boot. It tells me that i should deactivate any virtual drivers and disable any emulation software. Even after i have disabled everything, it still gives me the same error. I have tried to contact the support website but i havnt got a response yet, i registered 2 different emails that i have and havnt recieved a confirmation code from them yet. I have power iso and daemon tools installed. But even after i have disabled my virtual drivers and shut down those two programs, guitar hero 3 still gives me that same error. I alsotried using a few different sd4 hiders,including the protection that daemon tools offers,with no success in booting the game.Anybody know how to get this game to work???

That would work except for the fact that I DON'T HAVE MY COMPUTER YET! As stated above :roll:

Besides, I already know that my comp can play Crysis, I just wanna see what settings that's all.

If i did the srtest site thing, and it said that my video card is the bar right before the recommended line wont it still run good, just wont be as pretty as it could be? Every thing else is past the recommended. I want the orange box and half life 2 has every thing recommended but portal and team fortress 2 have the recommended line my last full bar and the next empty bar. Should I still get it? Will it still look good? I have more than the minimum for all of them just short of the recommended in video card for portal and team fortress 2. I have a ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 video card.

Would my computer with the following specs be able to run Crysis pleasantly (I mean I dont mind too much for "very high quality" but "high quality" would be nice). Here are the specs:

1.83 Core 2 Duo

100 GB HD 5400 RPM

Nvidia Geforce go 7600 512 MB VRAM (laptop version)

2 GB RAM

I have a 17" screen that can run upto 1650 X1050 resolution. In your responses it would be helpful if you mentioned at around what resolution I should be able to play and if I should install vista or XP, since I can use either. If I'm gonna play on high quality, I might as well just use XP, right?

I just got a new PC and I was wondering what games I can play. I'm not sure how to look at all of my specs, but I found these under my My Computer Properties.

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual

Core Processor 4400+

2.30 GHz, 1.87 GB of RAM

Physical Address Extension

So I'm just wondering which games can i run well and which games I cant.

The video is the key item and you ignored that so far, although the strange memory amount hints at an unusable onboard chip (can't play REAL games with those tinker toys, unless WoW is your idea of the latest thing).

1. Get CPUz, install it, run it, read what it tells you (Major Geeks has it, free download).

2. Or, you could read the receipts / manual / paperwork that came with the PC.

3. Or, you could run the game tests at SR Test (any game, the name is of no consequence, and the go-no go results are wrong too often to trust those), and get a printout of what they say about the system's components.

i will soon be getting a 360 Premium (YAY!!!!!!) and since i dont have a hi-def TV, i will be running it on my PC monitor at a resolution just a little higher than 720p (720p is 1280x720, i will run it at 1280x1024) and i of course want to get Gears of War, but i dont know which version to get. i already put $20 down for the PC Preorder, but i could just as easily trade that for store credit and get the 360 version. since my PC and 360 will be running on the same monitor and i'll most likely use the 360 controller no matter which version i get the actual gameplay will be pretty much the same, i'm concerned with 2 things; 1. Video Quality vs. Lag. i dont want to have to turn my settings all the way down and not have it look any better and/or lag.  2. New levels. i want to play the new levels on the PC version, but again it's a performance issue. the new levels offer alot more expansive areas which require alot of fast RAM and a good CPU which i just dont know if i have. the constant 60fps would come in handy too. The thing that most bugs me on most console games is the lack of Anti-Aliasing (the 360 has default of 4X MSAA, but some games dont support it *ahem* Halo 3 *ahem*) those jaggy lines just annoy the crap out of me, and i'd want to run gears on 4x MSAA if possible..   here are my PC SPecs, tell me what you guys think GEARS would run like on it. 
HP a1600n.  CPU: AMD X2 3800+ @2ghz, RAM: 3GB PNY optima 533mhz/PC2 4200, GFX: ATI X1600 Pro 512mb PCI-E x16 OC'd at 554mhz core 680mhz memory, 200GB 7200RPM SATA HDD. running HP Mx705 @ 1280x1024
what settings could i run it on?
