    Games dating back to 2003/4 should play fine on that Integrated graphics card. Anything newer will require lowering the settings or be not playable at all.

    There are multiple ways to find out the graphics card installed on a Vista machine. One way is to go to Start and search for DXDIAG. Then click on the Display tab.

    If you have Vista you automatically have DirectX10 installed on your system, whether or not your video card can make use of some of the features exclusive to DirectX10 depends on whether your nvidia card is from the 8 series or newer.

    The LE behind the 7500 means it is a skimmed down version of the nVidia 7500 GPU. It should still be able to run older games such as Half Life 2 on high settings just fine, although not on max settings. Newer games such as CoD4 will struggle, even on the lowest settings, and Crysis is probably unplayable.
