First of all Win XP 32bit is better for games than XP 64; maybe win 7 if you add more ram. 4gbs should be fine.
The Thief series
SyStem Shock 2
Penumbra series
Deus Ex
Morrowind
Fallout 2
Far Cry
FEAR 1 and 2
Just Cause 1
Call of Juarez

well, that is a few to get your started

How about Call of Duty 1,2,4 (COD 3 is not available in PC), maybe try COD 6,8 in low settings. COD 7,9 requires too high, don't even think about it.

Counter Strike 1.5, 1.6 (popular in 2002-2005 maybe), CS:Source (but not in high settings)

Need For Speed 6

Simcity 3,4

Sim 2,3

Life 4 Dead 1,2

Max Payne 1,2 (3 requires too much)

Resident Evil 2,3,4


There should be many options too. It just doesn't come out of my mind yet.

Thanks..!
Are there some adventure/sci-fi/fps/rpg games that can run?
AND BTW, What if I install Windows 7 64 bit? OR Windows XP 64BIT. Will I see a marginal increase in performance?

At that resolution quite a lot of older games will run, and very well.
BUT...
The further back you go the more likely it is you'll run into compatibility issues with Win 7.
Best bet is to Google any game you have in mind to see when it was released and its system requirements. You'll almost certainly need to cross reference the graphics requirements here:

Use the chart at the end, your card is about half way down, on the right. Any game that requires a card above yours as a minimum requirement should be avoided.

I would suggest installing XP, so that your RAM can be saved for gaming.

Windows 7 64bit? I would avoid it if I have the rig like yours. Your RAM is just fairly enough to run Win7 x64, don't waste your scarce RAM resource to power up a not-compatible-to-older-games and resource-hungry OS.

Well, tell me something. My friend gave me Battlefield 2142. I tried to run it, but it asks for an account. I have an EA account. I tried to use my friend's account to login, but it doesn't. Everytime it says "Internet connection not found". When I try to play it offline, it does not work. I can't even make an account from the game. It does not make an account saying "internet connection not found" or something like that. I have tried to correct the firewall, anti virus and everything I can. I even tried it on my laptop (windows xp sp3 x86).
Can anyone suggest me what to do?
