The integrated graphics card is the Nvidia 6150 SE. Also, how well will the games work?
If I have Windows Vista with 1GB of Ram, would some older games like Elder Scrolls IV and Dark Messiah work?norton ghost
Windows Vista is a operating system that uses a lot of memory. I recommended upgrading your memory to at least 2 GB but since you are playing games make it 3 GB. Trust me 1 GB of memory running Windows Vista is not recommended.
Your graphics card Nvidia 6150 SE should be fine with your games but adding more memory is a requirement.
If I have Windows Vista with 1GB of Ram, would some older games like Elder Scrolls IV and Dark Messiah work?software
If Vista is eating up your RAM, that's the OS's fault, not the game's fault. Vista is widely viewed as a horrible blunder by Microsoft and an all-around bad operating system, including for games.
What is important for the game, besides the video card, is processing power. That is what drives 3-D graphics, not RAM. High memory is for multi-tasking, non-game stuff, probably why Vista eats it up.
If you have a cpu running at least 1.5 ghz it should probably be ok with that card. That same elder scrolls title, or maybe it's elder scrolls 5, has a version on ps3 which of course has only 512mb of total RAM - 256mb system, and 256mb video. I would expect it to work on your PC. If you have problems, it's more likely that Vista is tying up your processor than the RAM. Try shutting down all non-essential background things that it runs, like instant messagers, update managers, etc. Or downgrade back to XP.
Well, first off, I don't know how anything's working with 1 gb of ram, but anyway, Elder scrolls IV will work on mine and I have Vista it just runs a little bit laggy, now my brother bought Dark Messsiah and it won't even start so yes to Elder scrolls, and no to Dark Messiah.
That is the same GPU I have in my Vista laptop, but I have 2GB of RAM. Source-based games, such as Dark Messiah, run just fine at all low settings and a low resolution. In order to get Oblivion to work, you may need to use Oldblivion. Google it. It drops shaders so older GPUs can run it.
Oh, and I wouldn't consider TESIV to be an "older" game. It came out a little while ago, but it's still used in benchmarks along with Crysis. It still takes a serious rig to max it out at high resolutions and get a decent framerate. It was made in the same mold as Crysis, beefy systems struggled with it when it came out.
