RE: Penumbra wont work
Again, I'm not the best with computer specs yet (still getting the hang of it), but it sounds to me that you either have a weak graphics card or low amount of VRAM. Perhaps upgrade?

Our improper actions to the construction of this bridge will cause it to collapse.
Truth is our keystone to progress.

Your computer is unfortunately below requirements to successfully run any of the games.

I just upgraded an old Compaq PC I had as well with a very nice graphics card for a friend. So, if you want tell me what exact model do you have to check what gpus are supported for an upgrade. Even the cheapest ones can run these games.

I have the D510 CMT which is a little bit older but pretty much the same thing. You can only install a low profile AGP 8X card in this computer. This is the best that I found in newegg and it supports OpenGL 3.1:

Warning: A 300W power supply is required
