Read some online game reviews (http://www.pcgameworld.com/reviewindex.php), pick a game that sounds good to you, and search for it in Kazaa. :)

I hope to get a new GFX card.

I like Most games but online the best.

and mine GFX is a 16mb thing I think.

Edit: I like most sports games aswell

480 ram? that's a very uneven number for ram lol, anyways, i think that possibly you're mocking a few people with this post, you know how good your computer is, it will run any game ever released

I don't agree with some comments saying it will run most games/have no problem etc.
I agree with Mazimba.I too have the same gfx as you Eatchipz,although i have a Athlon2000xp with 512 ram and it struggles tbh with most games :(
I too will be upgrading my gfx card but doing this i'll have to get a new motherboard also if i want a top notch gfx card(no AGP slot u see :( )

Just a few sports games i like are all the CM series.NHL Hockey 2002/2003 (slow though with the gfx card) Links 2003,Fifa 2003 not too sure if you can play them all online tho

Onboard graphic cards vary wildly, so unless someone has experience with that particular brand, they're going to say what they know. Mine was able to run most things alright, but I know a lot of people have problems with them. I have no idea what it was, because I haven't had to use it for about a year. ;)

Hey, i was tired when i posted my reasons above, now i will explain things a bit more....

Onboard GFX use system memory... and the s3 savage ( even the pro version ) is nearly the worst of them all. The fact it has no memory assigned to it which is dedicated video ram puts it at a very bad disadvantage.... and while ull say "but i got 420 mb ram, so it should be fine" it wont be. In my opinion, and to give u a bit of background here... i build PC's, having a geforce 2 mx 64 mb would be better than ANY onboard gfx system atm.

I have a GeForce 3 ti 200 128 mb .. and that struggles on games at top whack but the only games i play are CS and Champ Man 4 ... so it does me :D

cheap and good option is gf4 ti4200

also upgrade to one of the new barton chips they got mad l2 cache so itll be much faster

I dunno... ;) only a 1.7 gig cpu,eh...480mb of ram?...(you got virus-scanner :rolleyes: ). I think you're stuck with tetris, solitary, or...maybe the MechWarrior (1st version, dos).

Good luck playing any games :lol:

Get a Radeon 9500 , good match with your system I'd say. You can play everything what you want than , maybe some more RAM , but it's not really neccasary
