Ok it appears that your problem is that your using on board graphics which typically isn't enough to play games. You should look into purchasing a new graphics card. Let us know how much your budget is and we can give you a list of good graphics cards for your price range.

You are using a Intel G31/G33 integrated graphics solution. Sadly there is no way to break the limitations of this chipset. The only thing I can suggest is that you buy a new PSU (power supply unit) to power a new graphics card with it.

Do you have a budget in mind? $215 will do decently for you. I'm just not sure if you live in the US. If you have a store that has a website that you use then I can pick parts for you. Otherwise I'll just use NEwegg.com for now

PSU
CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply

So I'm thinking that you'll probably be able to play games maybe up til 2003 at least.Here's Pacific assault, I think its playable too.

System requirements

Windows 2000/XP, Pentium 4 1.5 GHz, 512 MB RAM, graphics card with 64 MB memory, DirectX 8.1 and Transform and Lightning capabilities, 4 GB hard disk space.

A lot of these games were made for the console and never released for the PC or I can't find a minimum specs page for some. I'm semi confident you could play most of them for now.

A lot of games require Transform and Lighting which I am happy to say so does your Intel integrated graphics support too.
The following Intel® integrated graphics controllers support hardware Transform and Lighting (T&L):

The integrated graphics controller of the Intel® G35, G41, G43, G45, G965, GL40, GL960, GM45, GM965, and GS45 Express Chipsets
Intel® HD Graphics

All other Intel® graphics products do not have hardware support for T&L. In most games, transform and lighting calculations can be performed on the processor with acceptable performance. A small number of games that specifically check for hardware T&L support may fail to run.
