Is this a good pc for gaming? - General

My current pc is crap. so i ordered a new pc on the internet. And my quistion is= Can this pc run games like gta IV,oblivion and fallout 3? some data that i remember. windows vista ProcessorIntel® Core™2 Quad Core Processor Q8200 (2,33 GHz, 1.333 MHz FSB, 4 MB cache) 512MB ATI® Radeon™ HD 4350 graphics card 640 gb memory

Yes

How many RAM?

Indeed it is, but Vista always eats a little way further into the computers capacity than XP. Though not sure how noticable the difference will really be.

How much did it cost and where did you order it from? Also yes. It's alright.

RAM determines the answer. How much do you have

I'm guessing that is a prebuilt machine. CPU: I personally don't care for the Q8200...it's a pretty worthless quad. I mean it will still perform just fine in most situations, but normally I would avoid anything below the Q9xxx lineup. GPU: Not really intended for gaming...more or less a card you'd see in a HTPC. That's not saying you can't game on it though, just don't expect a lot from it. RAM: ???? HDD: A 640GB HDD is fine, do they specify what the rotational speed is (i.e: 7200/5400RPM)? [editline]10:44AM[/editline] Overall though I hope you didn't pay too much for this...it's really nothing special.

ok, look for at least 2 gigs of RAM. also, dont get an intel graphics card, there shit. get a NIVIDA graphics card or what ever there called.

Is a Radeon 4670 better or worse than the card in there? Can never tell with the numbers :(

[QUOTE=ChaosUnleash;16197742]Is a Radeon 4670 better or worse than the card in there? Can never tell with the numbers :([/QUOTE] The 4670 is a lot better. You can actually receive some decent performance on it in a handfull of games, above resolutions like 1024x768 (about the limit for that card in the OP...assuming you want to try and max things out).
