i have some money to spend on a game on Steam. the two problems are:

1. my comp sucks. some specs:

and some crappy old graphics card.

2. i have no idea what to choose. Would be nice with a good adventure game that could run okay on my system. might not be that many thought. :(

any suggestions? :)

Hmmm, I only really know about Nvidea cards, but card aside I'd say you could play HL2 and TF2 ect on that.

If you want to login on my Steam and download a game to see if it works before you spend any money let me know.

Is this a laptop? Because it's exactly the same spec as mine.

Yes it is a laptop. With that video card you won't be able to play too many games at a good speed. TF2 should run but when it gets congested you'll notice a lot of lag. Try out PC demos to gauge your graphic prowess (that the right word?).

TF with some launch option fixes (like -dxlevel 81 -noborder) should run. You can also get other Orange Box games to work in the same way. Best way to get it is to get a steam key for it @ g2play. I'd reccomend loading up TF2 for a test run with those options on Mike's account. Then, join us for TF2!
