Thanks!
Lightweight (Luigi´s Mansion, etc.) and some average-weight (Super Mario Sunshine, etc.) will run perfect/playable, as long as you enable Intel TurboBoost (with that you will get 3.8 GHz, which is a regular/good CPU strenght for most games).
Just overclock it. There's really no point to using turbo boost on a extreme processor. Don't overclock it too high of course. Just try to get it as high as you can on stock or close to stock voltages.
@O.P.: If your PC is a desktop, then do what DatKid said. If it´s a laptop, just enable TurboBoost. It´s not like a big deal.
Your laptop will be able to run lightweight and medium games full speed most of the time and will be able to run demanding games like SMG1&2 fairly well without LLE. With LLE it will be iffy. You can use throttlestop to keep your laptop clocked at 3.8ghz.

Just check his specs. next time. Any part with an M in the model number is a mobile component (laptop based).
