My computer specifications are: 2.0GHz CPU Speed, 512mb RAM and a 128mb 3D card.

Will I be able to run lord of the rings Online well?

Will I be able to run M2TW Kingdoms at all?

Agent_13

Can I run Kingdoms then?

System: 1.5GHz Pentium 4® (1500MHz) or AMD® Athlon 64 or equivalent RAM: 512 MB Video Memory: 128 MB Hard Drive Space: 9000 MB Other: Monitor must be able to display 1024x768 resolution or above

Those are the mini requirements for Medieval II. The expansion should be exactly that with no difference in requirements.

For Wingless; the GameSpot message reply software was particularly crappy to your quote, and I ended up cutting it all out.

You do not have any "Video Card". That's why Battlefield cannot run. All you have is a weak sister onboard chip.

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 Minimum System Requirement

Video Card: 128 MB DirectX® 9.0c/ Shader Model 2.0-compliant video card (256 MB video card recommended)

No chance that a Non-gaming chip like that will handle a real game like the above item.

You need a better graphics card, and what is your memory (RAM)?

How well would a 640 MB GeForce 8800 GTS run Crysis and Gears of War? - as in, would the graphics have to be set onto a lower setting than the default?

EDIT: with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor E6700 (2.66GHz) with 4GB RAM (DDR2-667MHz dual channel) and Vista.

Yes, it can do so on Low Settings. There are multiple graphical paths, such that animation speeds scale down without totally going to hell from what a better performing card offers. The graphics will look crude by comparison, of course.

For the next guy, yes, Guild Wars has very low requiremnets, so that amount of VRAM is probably enough. I doubt that an older IGP will work at all properly, however.

All you guys are talking about either Crysis or SupCom, the real test lies in the games like gears of war and Assassin's creed.... So all I need to ask is that, will my laptop be able to handle these games??

Laptop Spec:

Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo T7400 (2.16GHz,667MHz,4MB L2 cache)

2GB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM

120GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive

512MB DDR3 nVidia® GeForceTM Go 7950 GTX

most likely...gears of war is built on the UT3 engine so if you want to know, try a game like R6 vegas or something cos thats on the same engine and so if your machine can run that well then you should be ok for GoW. not sure about assassins creed though

Onboard graphics is almost never enough for games, and an IGP that is already an "SE" is really awful. You need to go on a VGA shopping trip (you should have an empty PCIe slot to fill).

Minimum: 1.2 GHz Processor,

256MB RAM,

DirectX 7 level graphics card,

Windows 2000/XP/ME/98,

Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

According to that, a lowly IGP like the 6150 is capable of playing the game (CS: S) at some level. I personally wouldn't want to do so -- I'd have to assume that to obtain playable animation speeds, the graphics will be truly close to horrible.

(P. S. someone has asked about an "SE" (Sorry Edition) onboard chip previously. Such ridiculously bad hardware has no place as a proper subject for a gaming forum, because it was definitely not ever intended for that use. Most systems with that low quality IGP also have a proper video bus and slot for a real video processor.)

Can anyone give me any recommendations? Preferably games that will run on Medium to High based on my specs:

-Windows Vista

-Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE 128MB dedicated (when I check how much memory it has using dxdiag, it says "estimated 612MB, but System Requirements lab reads 128MB dedicated). It does support Pixel Shader 3.0

-AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4000+ 2.10 GHz (SRL reads it at 6.0GHz if that helps at all).

-2GB of RAM (System Requirements reads 1.9GB, I'm guessing this is because of Vista).

-DX10

-250 GB HDD

I know my video card needs updated, but I can't right now (money). I'm heading off to college so I was hoping to pick up a game or two to play in my spare time.

I enjoy:

First Person shooters

Third person shooters

Action/adventure

Action

RPG

Occasionally RTS

NO MMORPG's please.

Games I'm interested in: Half-Life 2, Far Cry, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Lord of the Rings Online (I know I said no MMORPG's, but only b/c I don't want any suggestions there. Only interested in this one) and FEAR.

Thanks!

Edit: Also, could this run Bioshock on low with no framerate issues? If not, what video card would you recommend upgrading to when I get a chance?

Overlord isn't on my list of comparisons, sorry. I play CRPGs by preference, and generally don't like the Diablo style "Action" variety, such as Jade Empire, although it is on my list here (I am interested in the hardware requirements, generally, of popular games). Your video card is now out of the mid-level range, as time has left it behind. You can play the other three you named, but to obtain decent frame rates in Oblivion, you'll have to dial the graphics down slightly more, I believe. Your GPU needs more VRAM, and a bit more core speed to handle that one with aplomb.

Hmm, many thanks for your story. My PC isnt new anymore, so i espected the old videocard and other things. Well, Ive download the Overlord demo, and everything run nice ( on low graphics ). And the demo has the same specs as the full game, so... I can run it :D The graphics isnt the problem. Its no problem to set the graphics on "low". If i do that, can i run Oblivion without very-slow animations?

Many thanks,

The Sims 2. The GS program says I can run it (min and recommended), but the box says I need a T&L capable card, which I do not have. Which do I trust? I can't just open the box and try it out because then I couldn't return it.

You'd better not open. There r chances that the GS software could have missed something. But the specs are correct most of the time. In fact, even if u have the exact cofig required, you'll still have problems.

Whatever "GS" is (some crappy utility on Game Spot?), don't bother using it again. It's wrong, of course. T & L is important, and if you read something saying to ignore that, it's wrong. Most Intel IGPs don't have it, which is why they carry the label "Manure".

Sims 2 freezes everytimeI play, but my computer should be able to run it:

Intel Core 2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13GHz

2 GB RAM

Nvidia 8600 GTS

Windows Vista

On my older computer, this same thing happened, so I'm not surewhat is wrong.

And I also want to know if Sim City 3000 Unlimited is compatible with Vista.
