that is a pretty old gfx card, it could run like orange box on low everything i guess... i run it all on low with my X1300 Pro. you should be close to me (except on ram and proc)

A 500USD laptop is obviously not for gaming.

I tweaked my friends 5 year old laptop, (which was $600 THEN) to play Half-Life 2 at 1024x768 low/medium settings. Don't expect wonders, but if the proc is good enough you can do a lot of emulation.
