Default NFS on my laptop

Hey guys. I'm getting bored with my laptop and want to put some games in it. I'm thinking about the old NFS games. I want to play NFS Most Wanted, Underground 2, and Carbon. Would it run on a Intel GMA 950 onboard chip with decent framerates? I don't care if it's on all low settings.

Thanks.

Oh, do these games have Vista issues?

NFSU2 will and I think you'd just get away with Most Wanted

On the GMA950? I highly doubt that, NFSMW was bad enough on my 7600GS!
