It has T&L, it just lacks hardware vertex shaders. NFSMW should play, but probably not well at all.
You can play older NFS games though.

Edit: After some quick research, that might not be entirely true. I may be thinking of the 3100 chipset.

Even CS:S might be able to run okay, but only if you force a lower DirectX mode. Add one of these lines to the "Shortcut" line in the game properties:

-dxlevel 81 (DirectX v8.1)
-dxlevel 80 (DirectX v8.0)
-dxlevel 70 (DirectX v7.0)

Running it in DirectX 7 or 8 will make it look uglier, but not as ugly as CS 1.6, and you should be able to get good performance.

Why don't you just grab a cheap dedicated graphics card? You can get one that would be a hell of a lot better than your integrated solution for a small amount of cash.

He's probably using a laptop.
