    Anything you want, though stuff like Oblivion you'll have to turn down low.

    Will you please read the videocard guide first, you will have a good impression...
    It makes the forum nice and clean, do you understand what I mean...

    You can run all games, but dont expect killer-fps at FEAR or BF2... Oblivion will be hard to run in my eyes... Max resolution is 800*600...medium-low settings,

    Hi, there.
    What about Far Cry, Half Life 2, Call Of Duty (1 and 2)?

    HL2 should run great, any other newer Shooters will start hurting in FPS unless you kill the settings or lower your res.

    Good. So go7300 is not bad card. For two years old standards anyway... :)
    Thanks for help.

    You will be fine with Far Cry, UT 2K4 and Half Life 2 even. Anything newer/more intensive, will still work mind, but at lower settings, Oblivion in particular would be a struggle on all but low settings. As long as you know what it can do, and you're happy it'll do those things to your satisfaction, then it's fine.
