the games should be alright as they did come out some years ago
if you meet the system req usually you are fine

systemrequirementslab ain't right at all.
if i use me laptop it will say i can't run a single game.
while i even play fifa 14/CoD ghost etc on high resolution on it.
and that smoothly as ****.
edit: not saying this guy can buy thief and play it.
but there is more to see then only specs.

I don't think it will, but if available download a demo or even pirate it to try it out, if it runs ok but it if you want to. I'm not gonna go around telling you what to do, but regardless on how you feel about piracy, you can use it to try out the game that doesn't have a demo.

Don't buy it. It's better to save your money to get a decent rig.

Just going to say that I played Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider 2013 on a similar laptop. At something like 800*1024, around 13-20 FPS. I had to tone down the post processing, and textures and models were set to low-mid. So it's possible, but only if you can bear that sort of number. I'm used to it though.
TR2013 is the only Square Enix PC game I've played, but I assume they use the same in-house engine for their games, apart from yearly improvements? So I'm assuming Thief won't be too different to Tomb Raider.
My experience though. I don't know if you'll enjoy the same performance I did.

Can't think of anything modern worth playing that would run on a single-core processor :/

Other than praying to the machine spirit, can't see what you could do.

wait...you said turn off explorer.exe? pretty sure it doesn't work that way if you meant the windows component and not IE

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. lol
If he disabled explorer.exe then he loses his taskbar and start menu at the very least.
I don't recommend doing that. o_O

The way you'd have to play this game would make it basically pointless, I doubt you'd get any enjoyment from playing at a super low resolution while still having to suffer through terrible FPS (anything below 29 is basically like watching a flip book that skips half the pages).
I suggest you play some older games, like some of the source mods here on Steam, until you can afford some better hardware.
I also recommend playing some indie games, there are A LOT of great ones out there that can run on basically any machine and they're pretty cheap.
FTL: Faster Than Light, being one of my favorites, when I first got it I was running a Core2 Duo (2.2ghz), 4GB RAM and an Intel integrated GMA4500 and the game ran like butter!

No you can not, having just 256 RAM for the Video Card, you will not be able to run and play it at low settings. + very slow processor + low memory, dont buy now if you want to play now, save your gmg credit...

Try this on games you want: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

Not gonna happen, sorry.
Those specs are incredible though. Makes me nostalgic :D
I have a very old laptop with 64 MB Video Ram. It can run Windows XP, but that's about it. It even lags when playing Half-Life xD

will my pc run Thief, as I see it's on sale at GMG?
1,66 ghz 1 core, second is ~1,67, 2gb,256 video ram, ati radeon 3340, everything on low,turning of explorer.exe, skype,browser, and every unncessery proccess. Also what you think, if im not able to run it will i be able to run Murdered:soul suspect, and is it possible to go lower than just 60% off? Cause what i saw in playfire was" Soul:Murdered soul suspect starting at 60% off!!!!"
Thanks in advance guys, your the best. Whenever i got question I always first come here :D
Btw: I can also afford Thief: Master Ed one of those 3 games, which will run most smoothly or at least will get around 20-25-30 fps?
Also, just wanted to add that i'v tried game with similar requirements like The Wolf Among Us and it runs very smooth..
