Hi, I'm soon getting this new computer, and I want to know if this computer is good enough for things like this (just guess!):





at 1440X900 resolution, and FPS, it could be hard to tell, but please try.

Here's the specifications:
AMD® Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic - English
No 19" Monitor
1024MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x512]
320GB (7200rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive with 16MB DataBurst™ cache
256MB nVidia™ GeForce 8600GT graphics card
16x DVD +/- RW Drive
Dell™ Entry Quietkey USB Keyboard - UK/Irish (QWERTY)
Dell 2 Button USB Scroll Optical Mouse - Black


Thanks!

Wow are you retarded? The 6150 is INTEGRATED GRAPHICS and its slow as dog crap, were the 8600gt is a DEDICATED GPU with its own RAM. Also the 6150 is two generations old the 8600 is current gen. Just stop posting. Sudds looks like a nice rig hope you like it.
