Charles I did as you advised me and I can tell you are right in everything you said. The games started but they are as you mentioned not playble 'cause they are very slow. Any way thank you very much. I think I'll go and buy another graphic card sometime when my financial situation allows me to do so. Thank you too Femme for your answer but it didn't work. This card is probably too old.
