So my first post : Ok, so I'm looking for games that are good and can run on my bad PC -_-. My specs : OS : Windows XP pro Processor : Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20Ghz Ram : 1 G Card : 128MB Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family I know because of the specs I have limited games to play, But I think experienced gamers can put me to wider options.Most of the games I know meets the ram and the processor requirement, but the card is the problem. I prefer RTS, Action, and the most is coop. Thanks I hope you guys can help me, coop games are mostly the blast for me and my brother, My other computer is more powerful that this one so any game I can play here can be played there as well. If you guys need more details please reply thanks. And a question puzzles me, my video card is 128 MB and can handle shader 2.0 if I'm correct just curious which of all the splinter cell games I could play or none of them? because I heard that the coop game mode is fantastic. I checked the system requirements my card is not in the supported list nor in the not supported list I might need some help on that.

I would suggest though for the price of 1game you can get a 4650 and another 1gig of ram and your pc all of a sudden will be capable running games (at reasonable resolutions up to 1440x900 or 1280x1024) not that much demanding like bioshock or UT3 at mostly high settings while even more demanding games like assasins creed or empires total war you will be fine playing them on mostly medium settings ( maybe some settings at high or low depending on game)
[QUOTE="brandontwb"]I have similar specs. Buy 1GB of RAM and an Nvidia 9500GT graphics card for $100 and you can play most games on the market decently.JangoWuzHere
Why would you ever spend money on a 9600GT which can barly run most games on med-high...
Not everyone needs to play most games on med-high. And if the OP is asking about Splinter Cell, the 9500GT would run it perfectly.

Still the ATI 4650 is more considerably more powerfull than the 9500gt for a bit less while with the price of a 9500gt can get him a much more powerfull 4670 which is closer to the 9600gt performance
it all depends on what your willing to settle for. you can play any game really but it will look like crap and most likely run a bit choppy at times. id say any game thats like 5 years old will run fine on it. my last pc only had 512mb ram but it had a seperage gfx card rather than an integrated 1. my laptop has the same kinda gfx card and its the worst thing ever for running games even though the rest of the hardware is pretty good on it. so simply put invest in a nvidia card obviously the most expensive is the best model but sure buy the best 1 you can afford and you will be able to play a lot more games. 1gb is a fine amount of ram really considerin u have xp so for a small investment you will be able to play a lot more games on ur not so crappy pc
Looks like a laptop to me... buy new rams as they are almost for free.. and as performence anything pre 2002 will run fine as long as you keep shadows off and textures a little blurry... for rts.. basically every rts have coop go for total annihilation or something easy like starcraft or warcraft, you can play all rts up to the very first DOW (maybe DOW too if you settle for 640*480 with low settings and 15fps), zero hour is good choice, age of mythology rocks hard, aoe3 will go too but with a settings above same is Rome TW.. as per action games, the newest game you can run descently is rainbow six 6: raven shield (it's coop too), splinter cell CHT will be a little choppy and same is UT 2004 (you will have to cut it down),counter strike is always availible, operation flashpoint will run fine, maybe source games.. (tweaked down of course), which binds to itself l4d and insurgency (source engine can be heavily modified for performence), hope it gives you course and ideas about the games
As per coop I suggest these: original ghost recon with both addons will run totally fine too (I'm not sure if they have coop probably have), civilization 4 have coop but it will be laggy on your system so expect low graphics, close combat maybe?, there are 3 games called Conflict: Something and they have coop too if I remeber (and will run), future cop LAPD is great game and have coop, ground control 2 is pretty game, obscure (but some strange) and lastly SWAT3!! Swat4 got it too but it's painfull to play on ugly graphics...
Dunno about the onboard graphics you have.. but i use to be able to run Rome:total war pretty well on a 64mb Ati onboard (no idea what type it was) and basically the same processor and less ram actually. Just don't expect epic battles, but you can atleast get a feel for the game :)
You could also try Age of empires 2, Cossacks, Red alert 2.
