    Don't bet on it. It might run, but whether it will run well is another story. The graphics don't look overly intense, but it doesn't take much (i.e., almost nothing) to bring the X3100 to its knees.

    It's in an open beta state right now though (best as I can tell), why don't you download that? It's free, so what's there to lose (other than the download/install time)?

    It'll work, or at least it does on a T7700 [Merom 2.4GHz].

    Most MMOs are slightly more CPU intensive and don't require the graphics card to be playable, especially if you turn down the settings a bit. On the other hand, if you're playing an offline software game made 2007 or later, don't bet on the X3100 to pull it off, since the X3100 really is terrible and game compatibility is somewhat like rolling a loaded 20-sided dice against you.
