Re: Can i paly it??

hello, I don't recommend playing games with intel intgrated chipset
anyway, I think you can play Red Alert 3, my brother plays it on his Toshiba laptop with an intel integrated chip 930 I think
you can always use yougamers test site

the best thing I can tell you is to see if there is any demos for these games, download them and try them, most of the games do not support intel graphics

Re: Can i paly it??

most of the modern games needs Vertex Shader and T&L and the integrated graphix don't have that. So you have a little chance that the card will play the games, like COD 4 or any game after that FPS I mean, but for the RTS like Red Alert 3 maybe it'll play on the lowest settings

don't bother getting a game unless it has a demo for it for now.

Intel graphics are the worst.

even if you can play a game on the lowest settings most like it will still have noticeable lag
