My GF just got a uded Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop with a Radeon 7500(or was it 7000) 64mb onboard. I tried UT2004 on it almost maxed out 1024x768 and to my suprise it was plenty playable. But shes not into FPS'ers. She is mostly into Diablo type RPG's. Any older ones other than Diablo thats good and will run great on this laptop? I wish I could put something else in it because its got a P4 2.6ghz and gig of memory. Shame the video card is a major bottleneck.

Or any other older none FPS games?

Beyond Good and Evil? You'd have to turn water to "butt ugly" for it to be playable in certain areas but other than that it should play great and it's quite a nice game. I imagine it would be very enjoyable for a girl.

I'm thinking Action Adventure or just Adventure games might appeal to her and there's some really great ones. She might like something like the Sims, but you might not like putting that on her machine. As for action RPGs, I don't follow them much, but you could look into Neverwinter Nights. Should play well on that machine and it's got somewhat similar gameplay. Apparently it's easy to pick up compared to most RPGs, which is a plus.

Yeah she played alot of Diablo II online. I was thinking of finding her some games similar. I heard Titans Quest was but I don't know if it will run on a 7500 Radeon 64mb.

Thx all for the suggestions I am looking up some of them now.

Neverwinter Nights Diamond edition is below $20 on dvd now and is still pretty fun I think. But I could think of tons of good games that aren't fps besides rpg's. What about Tropico? Or Worms Armageddon?

I'll probably pickup Neverwinter Nights since its cheap. I'll look into those others. Honestly shes only really gave RPG type games a shot. I'll try and find her a few cheaper games that way if she doesn't like them I won't be out much. Might even see if there are demos first before buying :D.

How about Simcity 2000? I have a girl friend who isn't really a gamer but she loves that game.

Worms... ya... definetly Worms. I prefer the second one for some reason. I think it's the interface.
