I've got a Lenovo Ideapad and I don't think it can run games decently at all. It struggles with Half-Life 1.

Entirely, yes. 2d games run wonderfully however.

AS far as running Half-life/other fullscreen games with resolution requirements, you just have to change the video settings from "stretch" to maintain aspect ratio and then you'll have black sidebars but at least it won't look terrible.

I'll try out this GMABooster, if it lets me run Half-Life 1 at more than 20 fps then I am set.
