    you can play quite a few games on the m1210 if you chose the geforce go 7400 gpu over the gma950. check the 7400 screenshot thread.

    if you chose the GMA 950 instead of the GeForce 7400, don't even think about gaming.

    What do you mean Crown? Any way to play games? Of course there is a WAY...you buy the game, install it, and run the exe.....

    Or do you mean how to get those games to work? Your gfx card probably can't handle them.

    Say if your card is the geforce or the intel (right click on desktop->properties->settings and look what it is saying), if is intel you should look for old games, if not try updating the drivers

    Yeah, you won't be able to run any new games. Trust me. I have the GMA 950 as well.

    You should try to stick to older games or get a new setup.

    Well, you can't really upgrade it now. If you just got this notebook recently, you are stuck unless Dell will upgrade it to the 7400 or 8400M GS for you.

    if u opted for the gma 950 there is no way to upgrade it to the 7400 since they use different motherboards. I would suggest you return the thing and get a new one, or sell it. good luck
