    yes you can. if you own an x-box...

    but seriously...that's an integrated video card...you won't be able to play those games. Even if they ran on the lowest settings, which i doubt they would, it wouldn't be worth buying the games.

    KOTOR2 will be fine. It would run better than the other two.

    kotor 2 will run choppy at points and a little slow sometimes. i could run it on my old 1.7GHz p4, with 512MB of pc133 ram and i think an integrated graphics card.

    If you're buying that notebook, you would probably be wasting your money buying games.

    I'll go a step further and say you're wasting your money buying that notebook.

    There's no point in buying a Core Solo when Core Duo notebooks can be had for under a grand.
