    Just about any game made in 2003 (maybe 2004) and earlier.

    When talking about 3D gaming performance, CPU and Memory are only secondary concerns. Most important thing is the GPU performance.

    WOW will run but I don’t think Halo 2 would. GMA950 doesn’t have hardware T&L, which means it will be extremely slow in Adventure/Simulation or any game that requires a significant amount of 3D world rendering.

    Yeah WoW should be fine, but Halo 2 has no chance...

    I'm not sure about which integrated card you are talking about. But if it's the x3100, here is a list of games that will work for SURE:

    http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intelgm965/sb/cs-026146.htm

    World of Warcraft is on the list. Halo is on it as well, but not Halo 2.

    Other games might work as well, but aren't tested by Intel.
