    Maybe Warcraft 2....

    Haha, sorry. Can't help you buddy. That is seriously not meant for gaming. You can prob. run RTS games at low res., as well as shooters at low res. I don't think your game playing for new games will be very enjoyable with that config =/

    Thanks for the reply, but anyway I am not going to install any games on tha laptop (caused its not design for it) I will only used it for school. For gaming laptop I am gonna buy portable one (which means not big 17inch one) like Acer Ferrari 4005 WLMi :Acer: even though my best laptop is Toshiba :1# Laptop: due to the laptop model theres only one Toshiba Laptop which is good for gaming and its Toshiba Qosmio (which is 17 inch) so I guess to find another model which is 15.4 inch for gaming and the one suit me is Acer Ferrari 4005 WLMi.

    A 5200 should be pretty capable. I wouldn't expect to play anything made within the last year or so to run particularly well, but you should be able to run almost everything. Maybe not Doom 3 or BF2.

    I don't have a lot of recent games (only bought Half Life 2 and Guild Wars in the last year) but I can run GW just fine at reasonable (medium) settings on my 7500 Mobility, which is much older than your card.

    I think a lot of people underestimate the capabilities of old and low-end cards. It just depends what sacrifices you're willing to make.
