CS:S will play on that...that's almost the exact rig I started playing source on. And of course UT 2004 plays on about anything =P
Game for Radeon 9250.

Anything based on the source engine will run, e.g. left for dead, team fortress 2 etc. Command and conquer generals, far cry (can be found on the rack for like $5 some times), alien vs predator 2 (if you can find it), the splinter cell games (although the newest ones will have to be a very low detail). Probably tons more, it would help if we knew what games he liked.
edit: oh ya starcraft and diablo 2 will run no problems as well.

Can anyone recommend any games that we could play together so i can go shopping before he gets here? Any suggestions that have Lan play would be great. I can look into the details myself and choose what would be best for us. Thanks guys and girls. |

You will have to run it on Low settings at a lower resolution if it would run at all.
L4D rapes single core processors. I have an athlon 64 3500 rig with an x1950 and it has a hard time with medium settings at 1440x900.
Just my .02. Source is easy on computers but it will still dominate that lowly 9200 series card.
Diablo / 2
Counter Strike and CS:S
Starcraft
Red Alert
Titan Quest (on lower settings)
UT 2003
Giants Citizen Kabuto
Age Of Empires
Call of Duty / 2
Dungeon Siege / 2

Neither did I.
Dman--you sure it'll play things like L4D and TF2?
OP--what res is the monitor that the older rig will be using?

No, Left4Dead requires a more powerful GPU, not to mention the CPU requirements of the zombie AI, and dynamic content generation.
Far Cry is SLOW, but relatively smooth, at least around 1024 x 768.
This is from experience with my Radeon 9250, with a 1GHZ PIII.

Agreed. If you have access to the 8400, it's a better card, though will still limit what settings you can use.
OP--what games does your bro like to play?
