Not a very powerful one, tbh.
It's a Pentium (3556u) with 8GB of RAM and integrated graphics.
A present from lovely people, so I don't really want to change it.
I assume stuff like Broken Sword will be OK, but how about IL1946, Oblivion, Halo, Far Cry, MS Flight X etc?
Anyone running anything similar on a basic machine?
I do miss my flight sims, but not enough to spend a bomb on a dedicated PC just at the moment.
Thanks in advance.
One way to find out. (-: You might struggle with older stuff on your 64-bit OS.
For old windows games there's a website called "ntcompatible" which gives title-specific games. Or at least there used to be, I've not looked in years. For pre-Windows games, DSObox is your friend.
Often though I've got around it buy re-buying fixed games on GoG / Steam / Humble, much less faffage.
Much appreciated.
Will have a proper go in the morning.
Dungeon keeper 2, unreal tournament 2004, halflife2 and company of heros all running nicely here on an i5 with 4 GB and integrated graphics.
It won't run mechwarrior 4 though.
For Broken Sword (and other old adventure games) try ScummVM. http://scummvm.org/
Is Broken Sword SCUMM? Gosh, I never knew that.
Lots of fun indie games that will work well, also if it's your thing there are lots of very good older RTS games that will run fine.
