I'm hoping for an M14x for X-mas, fingers crossed, and have a few questions concerning older games.
I've used Windows 7 32 bit only, and can play them just fine. However the M14x will be Windows 7 64 bit so will they still play?
What I mean when I say old games:
Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and 2
X-Com series
Stronghold 1 and Crusader
Civ 3
Heroes of Might and Magic 3
Warcraft 2
Diablo 1
etc.

X-Com series is available on Steam
I run Baldur's Gate 2 just fine, so Civ 3 and HOMM3 should be ok.
Not sure about the others, but there are ways to play older games on new PCs.
I used to play Lands of Lore - Throne of Chaos with DOS box.
Google and good luck! -
You could always try runinng Windows 7 in XP mode if you have a problem with legacy programs.

64-bit makes no difference to the apps you use on 32-bit 99.9999999999999% of the time

just make sure you buy the professional of win7 or ultimate, because the home premium doesn´t have "xp mode"

There is almost always some way to get such games to work. Of course you could probably play those games on a cell phone now and save some money

Age of Empires-Conquerors wont run. It doesn't run on any Alienware(at least that's the general consensus)
Beware
Question concerning games...
