My old 360 crapped on me, it's the 4th one. Most of my games are on it and now I'm looking for a new one.

The old 360 doesn't do every xbox game. There is a list of games that MS has adapted to the 360s format. Both systems rely on an update from MS to play original xbox games.

I realize that, which is why I'm asking about the new one. Is it the same or does it play old games at all?

It can play all the same games the original 360 can. In case you didn't already have one, here is a comprehensive list of all titles and known glitches: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_with_Xbox_360#List_of_compatible_titles

I heard that since the new dashboard came out (white dashboard) Backwards compatibility is not working so good.As for your question, yes anything that works on your old one should work just the same on the slim :)
