like many of us... (at least those that works) i have a business laptop (IBM T43) with no 3D capabilities and clearly unless you're in the game biz you're not likely to get a 8800 M laptop from your boss So we should list the game that runs on an Intel Chipset. (i915 in my case it's DX9 and PS 2.0) low tech and old school gaming can be fun!

I know that Warhammer 40.000 Dawn of War with Winter Assault and Dark Crusade works on a Dell D610, so it should work on a IBM T43 too.

I forgot X-Com 1 and 2. Timeless classics. But if you haven´t played em before you might have some trouble getting into them as the graphics are pretty aged. But still. Probably my favorite games of all time.
