I would say it's likely below what you would most likely want. It can probably run some lower games fairly well. Maybe oblivion? Don't let Minecraft discourage you, my laptop handles Skyrim fine, but for some reason, minecraft doesn't agree with it. Maybe it's the creepers.

No, low ram, slow cpu and poor GPU.
