I just want to know if these games (along with FEAR 1 and Godfather 1, the word limit on the subject bar is short, that's why they aren't mentioned) can run on my weak laptop. I don't want to waste my time downloading these games and then finding out that they don't work (atleast Psychonauts has tolerable FPS with everything but the Vsync turned off).
Here are my specs - OS: Windows 8.1
RAM: 4GB
GPU: Intel HD 4000 (According to dxdiag, it is 1792MB)
CPU: Intel Core i3 (2.5 GHz)
DirectX: DirectX 11 (According to dxdiag)

Re: Can Driver: Parallel Lines, LEGO Batman work on my lapto Topic is solved
First of , your Laptop does not have 4 gigs but depending on how much your Cpu in build GPU will take from 32mb to 512mb or more (the more ram it takes the better)... minus those 4gigs and you will have from 3,5 gigs to XYZ
Second , de-install Win8.1 and install Win7 on this machine... it still has a 16bit-8bit stub that most Winxp games need , plus you get more out off you laptop
third , this card is comparable to Nvidia Geforce FX 5900 ... a card faster then GF Fx5200 that was promoted as a DOOM 3 card , so when checking out games see if a Geforce 5 or GF FX 5900 is on the list and you will know this game will run
Seeing that Psychonauts system requirements are :
OS: Windows 98 SE/2000/XP.
Processor: 1.0 GHz Pentium(R) III and AMD Athlon(tm)
Memory: 256 MB of RAM.
Graphics: 64 MB GeForce (tm) 3 or higher or ATI(R) Radeon 8500 or higher (except GeForce 4 MX and Go series)
DirectX®: version 9.0 or higher (included with game)
add more Ram to this CPU graphic card in Bios and this game will fly ... http://www.pvladov.com/2013/10/increase-intel-hd-graphics-dedicated-video-memory.html
same with Fear 1
CPU: Pentium(R) 4 1.7 GHz or equivalent processor. ...
RAM: 512MB RAM or more. ...
GPU: 64MB GeForce(TM) 4 Ti or Radeon(R) 9000 video card
it will run
same with Godfather 1
CPU: 1.4 GHz or faster Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon processor.
RAM: 256 MB or more.
GPU: 64 MB T&L capable DirectX 9.0c compatible video card (ATI Radeon 8500 or greater; NVIDIA GeForce 3 or greater [excluding GeForce 4 MX])

This forum needs some kind of spambot protection.
