Game suggestions for a rubbish PC

[punky_munky]

First off I haven't played a PC game for a good few years so be kind (I'm a Mac convert). I've still got my old PC which is an Athlon 1600xp with 256mb RAM (I'll probably up it to 512mb if the price is right). My friend is giving me his old graphics card, it's a Geforce4 TI something or other. I know this spec isn't anywhere near good enough for the latest games but if you could perhaps suggest good 'uns that I might have missed out on (that will run on this spec, I don't mind having it on lowish settings) I would be grateful.

PS, apologies if this thread has been done to death, I don't frequent the dark side of the games forums often.

Unreal Tournament
Deux-Ex
Sin
Quake 3
Half Life
Bladerunner
Sonic collection
Alien Vs predator
Alien Vs predator 2
MDK
MDK2
Syndicate Wars
No-one Lives Forever
No-one Lives Forever 2
Pirates!

Errr.....

Aren't those all ancient? I seem to remember playing most of those years ago either on PlayStation or PC... This spec can't be that bad can it?

Ooh, good call on KoTR. I've fancied that for a while. If I stuck more in RAM in would it be up to Half Life 2 or is that pushing it?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I got the graphics card today and the PC appears to be a bit dead. I've got Macbook coming soon so I'll give some of these a whirl via bootcamp
