    If it has 128MB of ram I believe it will play all of those games. BF2 and Oblivion will be the most demanding but I can play BF2 with the x700. I am sure those other games will work.

    the 6600 is roughly equal to a x700. i can play BF2 at medium to high settings, still trying to find good settings for Oblivion..and i do not play the other games..but it is a solid card for the money...shouldnt really have much trouble playing them at decent settings..

    pb,out.

    If it meets the requirements, you can play. These types of questions have been asked so many times.

    I play both the SW games on mine and they work fine (EaW maxed out and battlefront with only aa turned down). Also plays CoD2 and AW ebnchmarked Doom3 on my system and it did pretty darn well. I'm not sure how much difference there is going to be if you get the 128mb version though.
