Website where I enter my computer specs and I'm told what games will work

[hanzj]

Dear fellow Windows gamers,
Is there a site where I can enter my computer's specs and then I can see only those games that will work on my system?

Thanks.

I believe it uses Java to scan your hardware.

CharlesA,
Thanks for your reply. I didn't want to know whether a particular game would run on my system. I wanted to know _all_ games that could run on my system.

I don't know of any other way outside of checking the system requirements of the game you want to play.

If you have an nVidia card they have a neat GPU tool that allows you to see what games will work, otherwise I would use the Windows Experience guide they have.

Here ya go!

cbennett926,
my basic computer has no specialized graphics card. All I have is the Intel processor.

What processor? How much RAM? Also, what type of graphics card? Intel 3000?

Looking at those specs, I wouldn't expect much - see this set of benchmarks for your graphics engine:

As for the database, I don't know of any since it's more often that people look at a game they want and see if their computer can run it, not the other way around. With Intel graphics though, I'd limit myself to looking at 4-year old games or "Indie" games that don't go nuts with 3D graphics.

The WEI will be increased to 9.9 in Windows 8 by the way. Almost all Windows 7 WEI for current hardware will stay the same in Windows 8 (unless you have a 7.9 that turns out to be like, 8.2.)
