I know exactly how fast your PC is.

Play Quake 3 Arena.

Is this the same laptop that can't even run mercs?
Cause seriously, I doubt there are many games you can play. I can only think of RCT 1 and 2, maybe the sims, but if your into some online games, your comp will probably be good enough to run gunz, maplestory, and gunbound.

StarCraft! and maybe Counter-Strike.

That was funny jgu. And so true.

With only 32mb video memory, your selection is pretty low. A few free online games might be a good choice.

Unreal Tournament?

Transport Tycoon + openTTD

Diablo II
Medal of Honnor
Grand Theft Auto 3/Vice City/San Andreas (not sure about SA, but I used to play GTA3 on PC with 128MB of RAM and a Geforce2MX)
Hexen II
Doom
Grim Fandango
Max Payne

basically.. any game that came out before 2001, your PC can run it!

If nobody's mentioned it yet, Rollercoaster Tycoon.

*Edit

Seems that it was mentioned, well I second it, and I second Diablo 2 aswell.

Motocross Madness 2 is *AMAZING* (and not just for the moto whores) and runs on crappy PCs.
It's an awesome game but can't be found easily... on the internet.
I did purchase the original back in the day, because it was so worth it.

 

[Jota.Ce]

Diablo II
Starcraft
Fallout
Fallout 2
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate 2
Icewind Dale
Grim Fandango
Arcanum
etc.
