The integrated graphics may cause a problem.
Games like civ4 barly run. Try and get one with a dedicated graphics card.

It depends on type of game. If you are looking to play a 1st person shooter it would play Quake II and might stutter at Quake 3 but anything recent I would doubt. If you have a particular game in mind go into a software shop and look at the back of the box it should say required hardware (minimum or close to it) and recommended hardware (you'll have no probs if you are running this stuff)

to be blunt. no.
If you want to play modern games, you will need a graphics card.
512MB RAM should be ok, although u might want to upgrade to 1GB.
64MB integrated graphics is NOT enough. you want a graphics card with 256MB RAM really. in fact, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is extremely resource heavy and requires a very powerful system.
its not all in the RAM, you need a dedicated graphics card.
the below website is a useful way to compare graphics cards.

memory prices are very cheap right now so i would either upgrade to 1GB memory or get one with 1 GB also you need to make sure that you DO NOT GET A CELERON OR SEMPRON processors, both of these would not work for gaming, 3rd try to get a laptop with ATI or Nvidia Graphic Cards thats one of the most important thing for playing 3D games.
