Doesn't CS 1.6 support widescreen?

You should have no problem running it, just don't expect to max it. I'm guessing Medium settings might work fine at 1366x768.

Is that for Bioshock 2 or just the original Bioshock?

Original. I don't have the sequel so no idea how its performance compares.

Does anybody know if this will run Bioshock 2, I just got it and I don't want to install it if it won't run well.

yes technically it should run it.

CPU: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4200 @ 2.00GHz
Memory: 4GB of RAM
Video Card: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
OS: Windows Vista 64 Bit

Yea the Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family sucks, I have heard people being able to play the demo on low settings. The thing is, are there fps configs to lower details?

I found a solution for slowness and lag in the game. I can play the game again!

For NVIDIA only.

Manage 3D settings (Global settings)
"Anisotropic Filtering" - application-controlled
"Antialiasing - Gamma correction" - On
"Antialiasing Mode" - application-controlled
"Antialiasing setting" - application-controlled (however greyed out)
"Antialiasing transparency" - Supersampling
"Conformant texture clamp" - Use hardware
"Error Reporting" - Off
"Extension Limit" - Off
"Maximum pre-rendered frames" - 8
"Multi-display/Mixed-GPU acceleration" - Single display performance mode
"Texture filtering - anisotropic sample optimization" - Off (however greyed out)
"Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias" - Allow
"Texture filtering - Quality" - High Quality
"Texture filtering - Trilinear Optimization" - Off (however greyed out)
"Threaded optimization" - Auto
"Triple Buffering" - Off
"Vertical Sync" - Use the 3D application setting

For BioShock game:
"Maximum pre-rendered frames" - Use Global Setting (8)

to

"Maximum pre-rendered frames" - 0

I doubt it.... But you could always try the demo.
