You should be aware that many games' use a "limited" version of an uninstall that
intentionally leaves behind game saves and configuration files. This is more true
of recently released games that use your "My Documents" folder's sub-folders for
game saves than for older games.
As an example, Bethesda's TES: Oblivion game has an INI file in which the old video
card settings would be left behind after an uninstall. When changing video cards
for that game (which wouldn't run on a lowly Intel chip, but is a game I know works
this way), you just delete the old INI file, and the game's launcher program creates
a new one for the new hardware.
