NO.
It has an AMD Sempron, which is no good for gaming.
It also uses onboard video, which is a no no.
Just get about $700 then you can make this:

CPU- AMD64 3000- $140
Mobo- MSI K8N Neo-F- $80
Ram- Patriot 1GB (512x2)- $75
Hard Drive- Seagate SATA 80GB- $60
DVD Burner- NEC Dual Layer- $45
Video Card- eVGA 6600 GT PCI-E- $115 (after mail in rebate)
Case- AMS CF-1089BK- $35
Power Supply- Thermaltake 430W- $30 (after mail in rebate)
OS- Windows XP Pro Upgrade- $80

Total- $660

This system will kill that Compaq and will play most of the games on the market today.

Any other opinions on that computer?. I know you all might hate me for this but im looking for a pre-built cpu that could play games. If someone could find me one i would be happy .

yea that pre-built computer is no good. im confused why the L2 cache is 128 KB, thats real low.
I read on these forums that ppl said www.monarchcomputer.com was a good site for pre-built computers. I havnt got anything from this site so i dont know how good it is.

Ok thanks for the help. Always looking for more help from anyone. Im going to look on that website. Thx again.

If you have to get a pre-built check out:

www.monarchcomputer.com
www.ibuypower.com
www.cyberpowersystem.com

other companies like voodoo, falcon northwest, velocity. These are a bit more expensive though.

 

[mdogg1108]

If anyone would like to help me find one because i dont really know whats good i would really like that. Anything that would play games and under 500$.

 

[mdogg1108]

Thanks for the sites guys but i was wondering if someone could give me a link to a good cpu. Im not so good with finding things because i dont really have a clue about finding good cpu's

 

[mdogg1108]

ok i think i found something good on cyberpower and wondering if someone thinks its good. I think i might be able to get it if its good.

Will it be good for gaming?
