Do you recommend any changes?


Thanks

You should be able to run Vista pretty well.

You may want to get 2GB though.

You want brutal, or gentle?

It does it's job, but don't expect much out of new games.

I would rate the PC at 3.2.

It needs improvement.

Processor should be Core 2 Duo or Athlon 64, not Pentium D.

Memory should be doubled.

Video card could be better as well.


But still, my PC, which has integrated video and 1.2GB RAM runs Vista pretty well, but once you TRY loading a game, it just lags. The PC that you stated will run Vista, but not be able to game with Vista.

Be careful with products from Samsung. They may be cheap but they aren't of the best quality either. Contrary to popular belief, Samsung is neither Chinese, Japanese, American, or European.

Apart from a few memory modifications, it should run Windows Vista pretty well.

Nice PC, but if ur not planning on running vista i'd give it a 7, i was planning on getting the same video card listed here, and i was wondering if it supported aero! CUz i bought a radeon 9250 cuz its 256mb ram and thought it supported it but boy was i wrong, it said something about pixel shader and 32 bits per pixel.......
