Ya sure!!!

I'm sure u can play NFS upto the version of 'HIGH STAKES' other action games like Half Life (Not 2 :p ) And doom will run fine on ur pc..... I'd recomend u to increase the Memory so as to have better graphics and speed....

HAVE FUN....

and if u have specific game abt which u wanna know then dude there is a seperate thread for such type of queries :twisted:

Good games for PIII

Hi, I know there are still ppl like me who are rstill on PIII's . So is there any such person who is in gaming?
1.Obviously none of the resont games have any chance on running on a PIII, so does anyone have any suggestions for age of empires(which I lonve) like games .
Games that I can run/played : aoe, age of kings, age of mythology(low resolution), GTA C&C(don't remember which) .

2. My config is: PIII, 256ram, 8mb shared Vram. Would adding a agp card help? OR would that be a waste of money?

Thanks & do share your experience with PIII and gaming.

Hello

You can run the following games on your old pc:

1)Midtown Madness
2)Midtown Madness 2
3)Max Payne 1
4)Spider Man
5)Some Arcade Games made by popcap.

Make sure your mobo supports agp before opting a graphic card !
Also try yourself runnig the games instead of making a thread.
