    Dunno about the apps ... but as for gaming it wont be good cuz it is based on the GT218 core like the G210M & G310 who aren't good performers + you will be using business drivers which will make it even worse.

    Will it be playable though? Doesn't need to be on max or anything.

    SC2 and L4D2 should be ok at 1280x720 and medium detail most likely. Bad Company 2 is mainly CPU bound, but it still needs a decent GPU. Since you have a good CPU, you might be able to run 1280x720 at low detail and no AA and 2x aniso.
