General Discussion

I've been looking for a while...I'm able to run Maplestory and Rappelz. Those are the only ones I've ever tried.

Try Pogo.

Seriously, I don't mean to be an ass about it. But if you want to play any type of real game, you're gonna have to breakdown and get an actual video card. Intel ( or any other "on board" graphics chips ) graphics are meant for no more than seeing website art and maybe watching a movie. They are not intended for playing games outside of the nice little solitaire that comes with Windows, no matter what the schmuck who conned you into buying the computer tried to tell ya.

And yet you've still made an ass of yourself....

No one conned me into buying this computer. It is about 6 years old and my mother bought it. Of course I know not many games will run on it. I'm not an idiot and there is no reason to attack my intelligence or anyone else's.

I've got a similar card - it's an Intel, and my comp is about 4 years old. I'm in the same boat!! Though, I've been able to run games like WoW, LOTRO, NOT EQ2, DAoC and some older games like that...not with blazing graphics and seamless FPS mind you, but not so bad that it's unplayable.

He gave you the correct answer, no reason to be calling him an ass.  Buy a video card, you can get one incredibly cheap that will allow you to play most games.

On the other hand, if the machine is 6+ years old, chances are the rest of the hardware is so outdated that it would be difficult to run nearly every game released within the last two years at anything near a decent framerate.

I fail to see how he attacked your intelligence in any way.  Rather, he attacked asshole "Qualified" computer salesman who try to sell garbage to potential pc gamers.  Asking what games you are able to play with an onboard chip will get you a similar response from all forums that contain any hardcore gamers whatsoever.  I'm surprised you didn't get wtfpwned by a flamer yet.

he did attack the OP's intelligence. he said that whoever(assumed it was the OP) bought the computer was conned which implies that they were to stupid to see through the salesman's BS. just answer the freaking question, if you do not know of any games then dont reply and check your holier than thou attitudes at the door.

So... by your logic only unintelligent people can be conned?  If that was true, the salesman profession would be in a lot of trouble.  Stating facts and recommending someone make a good investment are not hallmarks of a holier than thou attitude. 

If you don't want advice, don't ask questions.

of course intelligent people can be conned(we had 8 years of slick willie didnt we?) but telling someone they were conned implies that they were stupid  to let it happen. and the op did not ask for advice on what kind of videocard he should purchase, he asked what games would work with his existing setup. once again for effect, if you do not know of any games then dont respond.

Get over yourself. Did you not notice that I used the word "schmuck" to describe the salesman, not the OP? As far as anyone on this forum thinking I'm an ass ( such as the OP seems to feel ), that's not something that's going to make me lose any sleep.

How about YOU name some games that he can play with that graphic chip? Since you haven't ( I at least offered Pogo ), shouldn't you have not responded in the first place? Or is being hypocritical part of your daily routine?
