What can I play on this?

Rabies

Recently picked up a cheap laptop. Don't have much time to play as much as i'd like to because of work. Looking for some easy pick up and play games that can play on my new cheap latop.

I'm not expecting to play Crysis or aything within the past two years.

Any ideas guys?

OS: Windows Vista HP
Ram:1GB
Processor: Intel Pentium Dual T2370 @1.7GHz
Graphics: ATI Radeon Xpress 1100


Can it do anything apart from play pong?

Like to play BF2 here and there, so kinda looking for some nice easy FPS to pass some time on. Quake 3 maybe?

Feelgood

Yeah there are loads that will run on it.....


Starcraft

Commandos 1 and 2

Quake and Doom!.

Fifa 05..

Pugsley

Could probably get away with the serious sam games, can't get a much simpler fps than that. Could also give the half life 1 series and associated mods a go, they should run fairly smooth. Quake 3 will run fairly smooth on it too.

Could also try:
Age of Empires 2
Command and Conquer series (up to Red Alert 2 possibly)
And I second Doom and Starcraft.

I'll stay away from the HL mods. CS players annoys me and I never really got in to any of the other mods. Maybe I should look in to it again

Dawn of war, Oni, Max Payne 2, Empire earth, Deus Ex, Half-Life: Opposing Force, Half-Life: Blue Shift, far cry, doom 3.

Sweet. Looks like I can play something easy enough on the eye that won't try to kill my laptop.

Cheers...

Might plan a trip to Dick Smiths tomorrow and go shopping

No way, if you really had to set a price on it I'd say anything under a fiver will definitely work - the X1100 (basically the X200M) is slow as hell, and there are games on the shelves now for 5.99 that won't run particularly great on it.

I had a screenshot thread before (google X200 screenshot thread) with pictures of what I got working on it, basically as follows:

FEAR Combat - Ran OK at low settings and resolution
Battlefield 2 - Ran OK at lowest settings
Call of Duty 2 - only ran acceptably on lowest settings in Dx8 mode.
Company of Heroes - ran OK at lowest settings
Sin Episode 1 - Ran OK in DX9 mode, much better in Dx8 mode (40-60fps)

Anything running on the Source engine is the sweet spot, as you can play with some level of eye candy - older games like Battlefield Vietnam, Far Cry, so on are OK at the same levels.

Don't be so sure about the Quake III running fine comments though as the X200 had woeful - and I mean abysmal - OpenGL support, anything on the Q3 engine runs like crap (Allied Assault, an ancient game that runs maxed out on 32mb Geforce 256 ran at 20fps for me at 800x600 low settings), even Quake III itself. It's not a hardware limitation, it's just terrible support. Don't know why, and I don't know if it was fixed for the Xpress 1100, but be wary of it.
