What sort of games can I expect to 'comfortably' run on this spec?

[Kristoph]

Hi there,

Got a laptop ordered and its no gaming machine, but I was wondering what you think it would be capable of? Even at the lowest end of gaming. I'll be playing MOH:AA on it too.



Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T8300 (2.40 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 3 MB L2 cache)

Windows Vista® Home Premium SP1 - English

LCD15.4" Wide Screen WXGA+ (1440 x 900) Display with TrueLife™

4096MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x2048]

320GB (5.400rpm) SATA Hard Drive

Integrated Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator X3100



Thanks,

Kris.

that's reassuring, thanks 4 the info ppl

I've not played tf2 yet so that would be good if it could run.

Thanks for the game suggestions too, I'm sure there's a few classics I missed that were known more for their gameplay than their graphics.

Thanks for all the suggestions should help me get a few games together when this thing gets delivered.

Out of all the games mentioned, I've never played:

TF2
Dialbo 2
Trackmania
Warcraft 3
Mech Warrior 4
COD 2

Reckon Sim City 4 will run ok on it?

That looks a decent laptop to me, the onboard graphics are very much holding it back though.

The inspiron didn't have an option of another card.

I have to admit, if there was I'd of paid the extra. Oh well, I don't trust the Nvidia 8400's / 8600's at the moment anyway, the laptop will be mainly entertainment purposes and studying, and a bit of light gaming when I'm really bored at uni and I'm not with mates.

I've got a friend who has a sony laptop which the GPU has just died in, and it's just outside of warranty and he's stuffed.
