Playing high-end games on low-end PC

There are very good 3D computer games in the market. They use very high-standard and impressive 3D graphics for realistic graphic rendering.
The good thing is that they can take the player into the totally new game world. They can make player forget the real world while playing the game. The bad thing is that they need high-performance CPU (Central Processing Unit) and graphic cards with very good GPU (Graphic Processing Unit). These high-end hardware devices will take lots of money from your wallet or purse. Agree?

So, as I usually don't have much money in my wallet, I searched the way for if I can play some high performance 3D games on low-end computers and laptops. Especially, I wanted to play the game "Resident Evil 4" which is the latest episode of the very famous "Resident Evil" game series made by CAPCOM. But I don’t have very good computer system with graphic hardware such as Nvidia Geforce FX/NX and above or ATI Radeon 9xxxx and above. My computer doesn't even have the memory amount that is recommended by most 3D games. (By the way, I am telling you the truths and don’t look up upon me..!)

I am a lucky guy..! I found the way to play that famous Resident Evil 4 game on my rather old laptop.
Believe me. My laptop only has 1.4GHz Pentium 4 (not dual core) processor and only 512MB of RAM. The graphic system is only built-in Intel 850 chipset graphics. But you may know it as "Intel Extreme Graphics 2". I think the graphic hardware in my laptop is far behind the Nvidia's Geforces or ATI's Radeons. Right?

OK..! I'm going to tell you how I can play the "Resident Evil 4 (PC version)" on my laptop. First, you need to download and install very small program called "3D-Analyze". You can find and download it freely from Internet.

Second, I installed RE4 game program into my computer as usual. (Please don’t ask me where I got that game installer.!). After I had successfully installed the game that I want, all I need to do was to run the "3D-Analyze" program and then point to my game's executable file from my computer using "SELECT" button.
As you can see, there are so many options for setting graphic properties for the game that we want to run. I know the meanings of many options (and I hope you will, too). But for now, I want to tell you only what you need to do to play your game.
Check the option "force SW TnL" before you run your program and that's all. Cool..? Then you can run your game by pressing "RUN" button. TnL means Transformation and Lighting. (I hope you know about that). SW TnL means your game will use CPU to implement these functionalities rather than using GPU. This is useful if your GPU doesn't have HW TnL capabilities.
There are many interesting options in that software to test with your game. For example, if you select "force wireframe mode" option, your game will run in interesting wireframe mode.
I'm not sure that using the "3D-Analyze" is suitable for all games because I haven't tested it with many games. But for me, I can play RE4 in my poor laptop very well and that fulfills my wish. So, as for me I have to thank that small program.

Hay, remember not to expect the graphics that will be seen on the PC with high-end hardware devices. You can play your game, but you have to sacrifice the detailed beautiful 3D graphics and some ingame speed.

Last, I want to make one credit for the guy who gave information about that precious "3D-Analyze" program. He is one of my friends named TONY. Sorry, I can't remember his real Chinese name. (Forgive me for that TONY)!
