Can you play older games like Quake 1,2,3, Unreal 2004, Half-Life, Freeciv on the Intel?

Intel's graphic chips are not going to cut it on games. They're okay for older stuff and gee whiz 3d desktop effects, but don't expect anything close to nvidia / amd performance at texture and geometry intensive games. The open drivers are nice, certainly. But I promise you, the cost of a gaming rig and a tablet is less than the cost of a gaming rig tablet.

In all seriousness, Intel's graphics chips have an excellent driver available for them (the new "intel" driver as opposed to the older
"i810")
that can even do a subset of accelerated 3D rendering with some
nicety. They
also have the advantage of being low-power. One of the really awesome
things
about using an Intel graphics chip on a laptop is the xrandr 1.2
support
which pretty much guarantees that you'll be able to plug your laptop
in to a
projector and have it "just work".
