My parents just recently gave me their old computer which has a decent set up, but I am wanting to upgrade to play games likes Gears of War.
The set up right now is
(sorry if this isn't exact, I am at work right now)
2.4 Ghz single core processor
1 gb ram
windows xp
some plain video card
Now I know that I am gonna upgrade my video card to hopefully a GeForce 8800gt or something similar, and also upgrade the ram to 2gb. But my question is, is that if I do those upgrades, is it going to still run bad and bottleneck due to only having a single processor? Even though it is a 2.4Ghz?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
