hi

im getting a new laptop soon but its coming with vista installled on it. the video card in intergrated on the motherboard which isnt great but im not going to use it as my gaming rig but it would be nice to be able to play some older games with it that the video card should be able to handle.

I'm just wondering if someone has tried to put on some older games on vista and if they worked or not. im think like starcraft and diablo 2, im sure i have more older games kicking around but i cant think of them now. so if anybody got a list of games that worked or didnt on vista. let me know.

Vista has a hard time running newer games let alone run older titles.

It all depends on the video driver.
I have Vista Ultimate x64 & can run older Valve games along with the newer ones.
I can play TFC without any issues with an average fps of 100.
HL2 just had a slight stutter to it.
Mind you, I have changed sound cards since I last tried so that might not hold true now.
