what are some low requirement games that will run on 1.7ghz pentium m and 768mb of ram

Answer
12. You Have To Burn The Rope
Free - www.mazapan.se/games/BurnTheRope.php
A good place to start looking for innovative games that won't stress the system is the short-list of the Independent Games Festival awards - the event that spawned the incredible Portal. Not everything is of that quality, but YHTBTR shows off the kind of quirky thinking of many indie developers well.

11. MAME
Free - mamedev.org
One advantage of using a full Linux distribution is that you'll find many games and apps in the standard repositories, which are a one click download and install. The MAME project (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) has been going on for years, and can allow you to play arcade and console games from the 90s (including Atari ST and Amiga classics) if you have the original game code handy.

10. TORCS
Free - torcs/sourceforge.net
You can't mention Linux gaming without mentioning TORCS, The Open Source Racing Car Simulator. It may not be quite as slick as the latest Need For Speed, but neither do you need an uber-rig to run it - indeed you'll get it going on low settings on an Eee.

9. Super Tux/Super Tux Kart
Free - supertux.lethargik.org, supertuxkart.sourceforge.net
Again, we can't not mention these stalwarts of Linux gaming, although they've been around seemingly forever. Super Tux is a clone of the Italian plumbering platformer, Super Mario. Guess what Super Tux Kart is a bit like...?

8. Coil
Free - komix-games.com
Another of the finalists from the Independent Games Festival, Coil is a bizarre art-meets-gaming-with-haunting-music-Flash affair. The chances are you'll sit at a blank screen as there's no instructions and what you to do is fairly odd, but the clue is in the title. Give it a go for something different.

7. LinCity NG
Free - lincity-ng.berlios.de
Another Linux essential is this spin on SimCity. Just like the Maxis title of yore you have to build and maintain a thriving metropolis. Winning the game can be achieved by colonising space, and version 2.0 was released just last month.

6. Defcon
£6 - www.introversion.com
There's a fully working Linux client for this beautifully simple strategy game - based on 80s movie WarGames - from Introversion. All you need is a CD key from the Windows game to start nuking the world.

5. Dyson
Free - www.dyson-game.com
The last of our picks from the Independent Games Festival, Dyson is a strategy game that involves conquering asteroids using... well... it's hard describe as everything is highly abstracted, but it comes together beautifully well and has a Linux native installer.

4. Darwinia/Multiwinia
£8/£16 - www.introversion.co.uk
As a developer, Introversion specialises in games that are rewarding to play rather than look fancy. The genre-defying Darwinia runs natively on Linux, but its lightly coded follow up is so good that we've included it as the only game requiring Wine on the list, too.

3. Warzone 2100 Resurrection
Free - wz2100.net
One of the best RTS games ever released, Warzone 2100 looks and plays like a modern game, not something from the late 90s - which it actually is. Saved from oblivion by a dedicated team of programmers who've kept it alive, updated it and released the source code for Linux.

2. Frets on Fire
Free - fretsonfire.sourceforge.net
You know you can get a Wii controller working with a Linux PC, right? Stands to reason you should be able to get a Guitar Hero instrument working to play this awesome clone on your EeePC too. Arguably better than the real thing, Frets On Fire can import songs from your own sources.

1. DooM Legacy
Free - sourceforge.net/projects/doomlegacy
It probably shouldn't be top of the tree, but netbooks are so good at retro that not installing DooM Legacy and reliving the game that basically defined shooters as we know them today would be a crime. Even though it looks basic, it's still incredibly good fun to play and the in-game sounds have become part of our aural lexicon.

Can You Game on the Sony VAIO VGN-FW290NAH Notebook PC?

Mark G

What kind of games can you play on this?

Answer
This notebook is not suitable for gaming.

Reason being that it has an integrated Intel graphics chip (GMA 4500MHD) which isn't good for much except basic use and watching videos.

The Intel integrated chips are the worst gaming chips on the market, google a few reviews of them and see what I mean.

You want to look for a laptop with a dedicated nVidia or ATI graphics chip if you want to game on it.

Is This notebook capable of playing pc games?

Katelynn B

Here is the notebook, and a link to the page if you need it.
Sony VGN-FW245J/HC.

Answer
Can it play games, Yes is the answer to that but it depends what games you want to play. Older less graphic demanding games should run O.K but modern games with high end graphics like Bioshock,COD4,Crysis will not run at all. Its all to do with your Graphics chip and Integrated GFX chips on laptops are nowhere near as good as a dedicated GFX card. To read more and see what this laptop is capable of in terms of its GFX chip, check out the link below.

How do I make DC Universe run smoothly on my pc?

best gaming notebook pc image

Teh Breeze

I have a Hewlett-Packard(HP) G56 Notebook PC and it has
4.096GB RAM,
Celeron(R) Dual-Core Processor T3500 @2.10GHz, I have windows 7 and the graphics settings are:
Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family and it has 1.695GB Display Memory

I've put all the settings on low but the in-game combat is really choppy and laggy... Please help?

Answer
The integrated graphics can't handle the game. Since it's integrated, that max video RAM of 1.695GB is taken from your 4GB of RAM, so, technically, the more RAM your graphics use, the less overall RAM your computer has.

On top of that, the processor is also on the weak side to be of any help in processor-intensive games and DC Universe needs a dual core processor...

Here's a link to the DC Universe graphics requirements:

Is there anyway I can rig an hp pavilion notebook pc to play Dragon Age: Origins?

Loona

Is there anyway I can rig a "hp pavilion dv6-1247cl entertainment notebook pc" to play Dragon Age: Origins? I was going to by the game, but I want to make sure my computer can handle it at lowest settings. I heard it can't play it, but I was hoping there was a way to fix the laptop up or something.

I'm willing to play the game at the lowest possible settings.

Answer
wekll loooking at specs you might be able to run it on the lowest possible settings but whats killing it is the graphics card. and that is not easy to replace. you could try but its gonna lag like heck. i suggest getting hte demo first and trying that out on it before you go buy the game.
