    Okay, I'm wondering if my GF's HGL30 would be able to play STALKER CS.

    Here are the specs:

    XP Pro SP3
    T7200: 2ghz 4mb L2 cache
    3gb ram
    Geforce 7600 Go. Max game stable OC 490/390 ( 780mhz effective )

    It should be fine. I ran Clear Sky at like medium with decent FPS with a 4 year old desktop with

    3.2 Ghz P4
    1 Gb RAM
    ATI Radeon X300

    It will, especially with static lighting if you don't care much about graphics. Static lighiting KILLS the graphics, but makes the framerate go up by ALOT. With all options minimum the game actually plays on my Aspire One netbook.

    The game doesn't look bad with the static lighting, just not so dynamic. The performance jump you gain can go to better textures or higher resolution.
