Hi, I was in Best Buy yesterday browsing for a new comp for hours trying to fit in a $1000 budget and I think I found a pretty solid comp. I'm not an extreme gamer and don't expect to have top of the line comps like some of you dedicated gamers but I'd like a comp that'll just run smoothly and solidly in todays newest games. To be honest, I'm a little worried that my proccesor maybe a little outdated and when I get a new comp, I usually don't upgrade for another 3 years or so. Here are my specs:
Compaq Presario
AMD Atlon XP 3200+
Windows XP Home
2.2 GHz
200 gig HD
512 MB DDR SD pc 2700 Ram (will upgrade to 1gig next month)
256 MB BFG GeForce FX 5500 OC AGP Vid Card
17" Flat Screen Compaq (will upgrade to 17" flat panel next month)
Double CD Drive + DVD/CD Writer
1MB L2 Cache
Compaq keyboard and mouse (will upgrade to optical next month)
Labtec headset
That's all I know for now, if you need more specs just tell me. So what do you guys think, good enough for gaming?
