What Can I Motivate With a Geforce FX 5600 Go

[MurphmanL]

Bought this laptop the other Day, will be collecting it from the depot in about an hour but quite frankly I can't wait as this is the first time I'm buying a laptop (all that saving! ) that's capable of doing anything other than playing a DVD

Any ideas what games i can expect it to run?
It's got a Pentium 4 2.8ghz processor, 512mb ram, 80 gig hdd, 64mb Geforce FX 5600 GO

with that kinda setup, u should be able to run counterstrike source on medium settings

Not a huge fan of Counterstrike...
Is that a fairly new game?
What about stuff like Command and Conquer generals, Black and White 2, Battlefield 2?

Not bothered about graphics or resolution too much provided they run

C&C Gen should be a walk in the park for a 5600 Go.. but keep the AA down and you'll be fine.

Black and White 2 and BF2? maybe the lowest of all lowest settings.. eheheh.. no kidding, my 5600Ultra choked at 800x600 in BF2..

Black and White 2 might be hard with only 512MB of RAM and that 5600.
