    Is the integrated graphics card with an i5-540m good enough for gaming?

    My needs would be the original age of empires, halo 1, Starcraft 1, and quake 3.

    Yes, I still live in the 90s (when it comes to games, at least)

    Those should all run just fine with integrated graphics (although AOE3 will probably not be maxed out). In fact, Starcraft 1 would run on just about any computer back to the Pentium II with no trouble at all :rolleyes:
