    What is the problem exactly?

    The inability of playing games (apart from very simple ones, like Solitaire or Browser games) is a feature of Intel graphics.
    You may check the system requirements of the games you want to play.

    There's a difference between a 256MB Nvidia or ATI card, and a 768MB Intel integrated. It's not necessarily that the Intel isn't powerful enough, but that lots of games weren't designed for them, and Intel hasn't been the best on ensuring support/compatibility for gaming, as that is not their target market. You could always try installing the newest drivers straight from Intel, but I can't promise you that they will help any. http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Sea...3000/2000&ProdId=3319&LineId=3310&FamilyId=39

    As stated, Intel integrated graphics isn't discreet, it leeches it's "memory" from system RAM, thus a performance penalty. To make a long story short, Intel graphics won't play alot of modern games correctly.
