In my opinion there isn't a whole lot out there for you based on that.

Problems:
#1) For most of the newer games out there - you NEED at least a dual core processor.

#2) You have integrated/onboard graphics card, which shares system memory, instead of a dedicated graphics card - you will struggle to play most of the newer games

With that being said, you may be able to get away with some slightly older games (not sure what you are into), here's some idea's - check their requirements...

* Team Fortress 2
* Left 4 Dead
* Counterstrike 1.6
* Counter-Strike: Condition Zero
* Counter-Strike: Source

I would try something based off the Source Engine

Its going to be tight but there could be a few areas to go through. Again like has allready been said, its not going to be anything great but there are some fun titles.

Most of the stuff pre 2003 would probably run, obviously double checking the specs first.
This is a nice list from Amazon, Top 25 of 2003.
Googd selection of shooters, sports and RTS on there.
General rule of thumb as well, if the sequel can run the original can to.

I remember some of my best gaming experiences being from limited hardware. I spent alot of time on the Roller coaster tycoon series. Great fun. Then moved onto the Rainbow Six games, Splinter Cell and especially Curse of Monkey Island!

Like I said however that entire list won't run. SimCity4 and Command and Conquer Generals are know resource Hogs and were very advanced for the time. However SimCity 3 wasn't to bad, great game to! Plus Command and Conquer Red Alert was a fantastically fun game! Found it very addictive, loved watching the Tesla coils...
