New computer is worse than my old one?

So I’ve had this old IBM Thinkpad for ages now, and i finally went and got a new computer, here are the specs.

Old computer: (IBM Thinkpad)
OS: XP
Graphics card: ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300 256mb
RAM: 1GB
Processor:1.86 GHz
Hard drive: 30GB

New Computer (Toshiba Satellite L305)
OS: Vista
Graphics Card: Mobile Intel 4 series express chipset family 1.3GB memory
RAM: 3GB
Processor 2.16 GHz
Hard drive: 250Gb

the thing is, my old computer could run many games, like Team fortress 2, l4d, Garrys Mod, CSS, runescape, all that. But my new computer lags tremendously on Team Fortress 2 and l4d. (i havent tried CSS.) And it even lags on Runescape! so im really confused. Whats wrong with my new computer?

NOTE: before i launched tf2 it always says that my Graphics card isnt in their database, so it might not run smoothly.

I also have another question, i cant open garrys mod, keeps saying that hl2.exe isnt working..any solutions to that?
