    Ill second the Star wars Jedi Knight series...I particularly love Dark Forces II but that game is way back from '97, one of the newer ones would be a better option.

    Other games: Deus X, Half Life, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, May Payne, Halo, Call of Duty.

    Far Cry may work fine on that. I played it on an ATI 1100 GPU with options and resolution reduced. It played fine.

    Many of the older Splinter Cell games may work fine too.

    ill start make a list over the games a play so i and keep track of em, i always forget ehich ones i played i mean of the older games. Maybe i play Renegade again to at "hard" becuse it was a really fun game, however the story was not very good. How about the Unreal Story is it any good?
