Obviously depends on the games, your vid cars is really all that is all that low end.

Check the min requirement for the games, if you meet that you should be fine with settings turned down.

Yeah check the minimum requirement for the games before buy/download.

yeah, a nice geforce FX5200 or MX440 would set you up nice, the rest of your pc looks fine for games, just make sure you have a free AGP slot to lob it in

in other news, "Is My....." is not an acceptable topic for a thread. express the fukken point/question in the title, instead of trying to lure people in with a topic that says nothing. confusion isn't a very compelling reason for people to click threads.

might wanna upgrade to a new video card like everyone else is saying, also, most of the new games out are ram eaters. currently, ram is damn cheap, grab urself another 256 mb ram (ddr ram would go great with ur comp) for about 40-60 dollars (i live in vancouver, canada, so the price of ram in the states should be much much cheaper) would help out alot with games. make sure u have the latest drivers. altogether, u should be spending under 150 bucks to supe up ur comp. good luck with that. my comp is gay, but it still runs graphic intensive games (latest ones) at about 20-30 fps average with settings set from low-medium, games like: flight simulator 2004:cof, unreal 2, unreal tournament 2003, doom 3 (i know, it sounds impossible, with a little tweaking though, it can be done ), hitman 2, vice city, gta3, u name it. specs are as followed:

amd athlon 1.2 ghz
384 mb ddr ram
120 gb hdd (with 90 gb free)
32 mb geforce mx 100/200 (with latest drivers)
and some really old crappy motherboard

so, as u can see, if my comp can run the latest games, why can't ur's?
hope that helped.

i have..

600mhz p3
Crappy 512MB ram.
geforce 5200fx.

It can run stuff like midnight club 2, and halo quite fast, with only the latter having to be set on lower detail mode.

lucky! can u run halo good on the 2nd level (inevitably called halo), cuz the first level, i get really good fps (20-24), but when i get to the second level, it goes really slow. maybe it's because of the open area. if u tweaked it (halo, the game), could u pls share ur wisdom oh wise mogadisu?
