than"ks :

Doom 3, halflife 2 (the original, not episode one or two allthough they probably run as well but you have to follow the story), quake 4, hitman 2 silent assasin, Red faction, Sniper elite, bloodrayne.

You can also try Tomb Raider Legend and Anniversary although I'm not sure if their graphics will appeal to you.

There are so so many but yes it depends what you like.

You should be able to run Far Cry, Medal of Honour series, Battlefield 2, Dues Ex.

I would also try the Steam Greenlight project, there are a lot of indie games coming out that will run on anything (almost)

am I the only one who thought kingpin was awesome?

Faster Than Light, and check out all the Paradox strategy games, they dont require that much power to run.

Bad call. Anything on the Clausewitz Engine sucks RAM and will probably crash after a few turns. Either that or it will become unbearably slow, to the point where a day of in-game takes about 2 minutes IRL time (even on max fast-forward). I speak from unfortunate experience.

As others have stated, your best bet is to pick among the flood of indie/retro games. Most of those require nothing and could probably run on a pocket calculator.

You're a candidate for GoG.com :-)

Not good graphics, but if you like shooting stuff and want something unique, you could check out System Shock 2 - a true classic
