    Pretty much any of the old point 'n clicks, of which there's loads of good ones to choose from.

    Duke Nukem 3D
    Warcraft
    Starcraft
    Deus Ex
    Unreal Tournament
    Battlefield 2
    Elder Scrolls: Morrowind.
    Emulators of old consoles like SNES.

    Tons more but I'd be here all day.:smoke:

    You may be able to do Onlive its Streaming gaming, they have a lot of newer games you wouldn't be able to run that you could play with your laptop and have they have a decent selection of games. Darksiders 1 and 2, metro 2033 and more you can check it out. I'm playing Darksiders through onlive the service works amazingly well. They let you do a free 30 minute trial of any game too so you can sign up for free, download the client, try a few games and see how it runs.

    I think the only real requirement is Direct graphics acceleration you can check to see if you have it on your laptop by going to Start > Run > dxdiag

    Under the display tab it will tell you if you have direct graphics acceleration enabled or not.
