My PC only has 256 mb of ram. It also has a pentiam 4 2.53 ghz processor. My graphic card appears to be an: Intel 82845/GL/GE/PE/GV graphics controller.

Anyways, I'm looking for action or RPG games from the last 2-3 years that will still run on a system like mine, I know most need 500mb, but I don't have that. Just wondering if there are any newer games out that I can play..

Besides the RAM issue you're going to be hard pressed to find anything above casual level that will work on that graphics controller. It does not support the pixel shaders that any game post 1999 requires.

Sounds like it's time you build a new computer. Swing on by the PC Hardware forum.

Low end machines for today, not low end machines from 5 years ago.

Nothing recent. Some older games that should run... Alice, Deus Ex and Undying.

hate to be negative... but no, unfortunately your low ram & integrated graphics are going to prevent you from any playing anything recent (i.e. good few years ago)

Man not gonna happen. I have a friend that played Warcraft 3 with 256mb and he finally got mad and got more RAM. Warcraft 3 is from 2002-2003...
