Hi, I have a old pc for my little brother, and it has no graphics card, a 2.4Ghz Pentium 4 and 1GB of RAM. AssaultCube works fine, Sims 2 works at 20 FPS, Any GOLDSRC engine game runs smoothly, GTA 3, Vice city work at 20 FPS, Minecraft runs at 10 fps. All games have been set to the lowest settings possible. He wants to play Garry's Mod but the game closes on startup. I've tried swiftshader but it just makes the window all green. If I open task manager it's borderless, has no title, can't close, needs a logoff to close. Can games like Call Of Duty 1 work? The OS is Windows XP.

CoD4 not gonna happen. It requires at least a decent graphics card and a P4 will not cut it
You might pull off CoD 2 if you graphics card is at least a Geforce 3 or Radeon 8500
If you just want to do it for proof of concept like when I ran Simcity 3000 on a 486,
then you will need a socket 478 motherboard with AGP and you would need to buy a decent AGP card
(I think there are some AGP radeon 3xxx available)
But if you just want to play it and are not a vintage enthusiast then there isn't any point in trying.
