Games | Bala's Blog

If you have read my previous post then you would understand that i dont run exactly a gaming rig, but a down to earth notebook. And yes i still like to try games on them time to time. Everytime i find a game that i would like to try, i go to the developers website look for the minimum system requirements and then check that up with my configuration. What is there was a tool that could do just that!

Do an analysis if your system configuration and say whether i can play a game or not. Welcome to the System Requirements Lab . Sys req Lab will do a check (after installing an activeX and running a java applet) on your system to see if your system is suited for playing anygame that you select from their database. Nifty eh.

I am one of the many (i guess) who is stuck on a laptop with the Mobile Intel 915/910 chipset. But i do like to play games and try to squeeze the best i can from my graphics support . I checked with the Intel website to find a list of games that run decently on the chipset, their list i believe is no longer or rarely updated, so i decided to make a list of my own with the help of the community of gamers (inclusive of the above games. The following games are compatible (meaning they are ‘playable’ -no funky settings, but just decent frame rate and gameplay) with the Mobile Intel 915/910 chipset.If you have the above Intel chipset and have played games apart from the ones mentioned here please be kind enough to contribute to the list via the comments section.

A comprehensive listing of all tips, tricks & suggestion for gaming on the Intel9x platform is available at the Google group.
