Hi
I wanted to know if 945 GC or maybe 946 GMX Chipset is sufficient to play low end Games without additional Graphic Card.
I will be buying a Gigabyte 945GCMX or 946 GMX-S2 Mobo with Intel E2160 Proc & 1 GB 667 Ram.

I was told by the vendor that i can open several windows of excel and other internet applications at the same time without any problem with the GPU but he had no idea about games.

If possible please tell me which game i can play max so that i get an idea of what i can play

Thanks

Basically, you won't be able to play any game that came out in the past 5 years. :p

Neither that chipset nor 1gb memory is gud enough. You can try games released before 2005 at medium-low settings.

I doubt most games from 2005 will work. That onboard doesn't even support hardware acceleration.
