MSI graphics card gtx 660 and 16gb of ram. plenty of hard drive space. 4.2ghz amd Quad core processor. sometimes running compatibility mode doesnt work like running in Winxp sp2 mode.
Depends on the game usually, you should google each game in question as some might have community patches to make them work on Win 7 or some special configuration. You can also check Good Old Games (www.gog.com) for the occasional must have game.
what about running Vmlite for xp ?
You could try I guess, I can't see any pricing for it. Is it free or paid?
looks like its paid!
