    I know in the past I visited a site that scanned my system, and I could check out different games and it told me how well my PC would run them. I am buying a new laptop and I'm interested in knowing how well it will play certain games. I don't have it now, but is there a site that would allow me to manually input the system specs and check them against the system requirements of different PC games?

    I don't think you can manually input data on that site. How about by telling us what type of video card you are looking at, and we can tell you how well it would be at playing games that you are interested in.

    go to windows game adviser, it scans your system then tells you what games you can play and which ones you cannot.
