If it does meet the required specs, will it run decently or is there no point in me buying it?

Thanks, and sorry for asking such an annoying question but its my last option.

Can't say with Tomb Raider, but KSP has a demo on Steam. Try that?

sorry man but the G210 video card is a very very weak graphics card, i would say Tomb Raider would run, but look like crap requiring lowest settings and resolution and the framerate wouldnt be great.

Your CPU is decent enough though, you could pickup a second hand gfx card on adverts for 30-50euro and you would be able to play most games on medium settings, even new games.

*EDIT* found a video of it running on G210 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhy2r4rxkQ4
Results - Resolution:1280x720 / FPS Results:24-27
I wouldnt consider that playable( personal thing but anything under 40FPS for me is unplayable, mainly the lag in control ), might be ok on lowest settings though.

If I remember correctly, to get "can you run it" working in windows 7, you have to launch your browser as administrator (right click on it and run as administrator) so it allows the download of the plugin.

But I checked game debate and it looks like your GPU lets you down. I had that GPU when I first got my machine
