Can this laptop run low end games like WoW, HL2, and Silkroad? If it can't could you help me find one that could in a similar price range (less than $500)

My laptop screwed 5 HDD's with 250 GB... Trying to rid off of CompaQ.

If smth doesn't work try program called "Game Booster"

Yes, you can run those games on that laptop with no problems. Of course do not expect to play with max graphics, but you can play just fine with normal graphics.

all labtops can...but depending on their graphic card and memory left on ur computer can determine how smooth the gameplay will be..
for example i have a 2003 computer with an old graphic card .. i can play sro..but it will lag in populated places..sucks for me =-[

That's a newer version of the computer I have, it should run HL2 like a dream, silkroad will be alittle laggy, but it can run it. I have never played wow.

I'd buy it, & it's fuckin' cheap, makes me want it (But I wanna buy a comp with at least 2.5 GHz)

If i were you i would be looking for laptop which has video card nVidia/Ati and now i'll tell why.
There are lots of settings on them and you can make better video quallity.
For example my old laptop (CompaQ) don't have graphics card and i get FPS drops on every freakin game i play, but my brother (Which has very old pc) has nVidia video card and it works much better and he experience no FPS drops.
My point is look for laptops which has video cards
