GPU is everything.

With a 6600GT, you'll prolly run low-mid settings with reasonable settings,

Yes you could get resonable fps with that setup, i was getting 50-60 fps avg on my old setup (P4 2ghz, 512 PC 2100, GF FX5200) that was with texture and model quality set to high.

I remember I ran the HL2 demo on a p3 800, 384 ram and a 32meg card.

I got like 10-15 fps thou. Could someone point me to a forum in which many people have these games on many different settings? Mabye I will have the same setup some place else.

A lot of integrated GPUs are really poor with 3D. If you're willing to shell out about $30 you can get a Radeon 9250 based card. I read from a NewEgg review that someone is playing CS Source at 1152x854 with high settings, no AA or anything, at 30 fps paired with a Sempron 2800+. Good luck.

Just grab any crappy GPU for under $50 bucks, might as well.

Heck, buy a X300, or even better a X1300 and you even get HDR:)

won't buy what? css? DoD? hl2? wtf? also, my buddy wanted to play me in some css and he also had integrated. video lag, lag, lag!!!! very, very unplayable. seriously, if u have no money and want to play games. quit looking @ today's newest games. cuz ur just not gonna be able to play them and if u could by any means it would taint the experience.

so, he bought this card and gets around 50 fps on medium settings and is now enjoyable.
