    Hi! i have a thinkpad r51e, with 1,73ghz pentium m, 512mb ram, 80mb HD, Ati radeon xpress 200M with shared 64MB from main RAM. I tried to install FIFA 2002 World Cup, Grand Prix 3 and other games that played very well on my slower desktop (celeron 1ghz, 256mb ram and TNT Riva 2 w/32mb), and it happened that after entering the menus, when the game screens are loading, it crashed, going back to windows and showing the popular error screen. I wanted to know if the system has the "capability" to run 3d games, I mean, the video card is good enough at least to RUN (even slowly) a 3D game such as fifa, grand prix, doom, etc.
    I hope it can
    cheers
    Guillermo
