I have 3 Gig of RAM to add to this, and an RADEO Sapphire 5450 1gig graphics card. Will this make it a good gaming computer?

Hi John. This computer could be a decent gaming machine if you do the following. Add a 64 bit OS to it. Then add like 8GB of ram. Now your talking! However your card with an i5 or i7. Is insane dual core processors vs quad cores for gaming will produce a lot more frames per seconds. I hope that helped and sorry for the typos.

There is only one PCI-e slot available on my 775 an 800Mhz processor and a maximum of 8g of ram. With that said There's a lot of machine there. If the PCI-e slot is empty, give it a shot. I think you'll be pleased.

The short answer is no. Mine came with 750 meg of ram and I had to upgrade that just to run the programs for my job. Its good for word processing and basic web surfing but I don't think it would be good for games.

It should you need to look up your computer specs and see if it can hold 8 Gigs of Ram.

I would say, "No sir". It has Radeon (tm) hd graphics 2.10 ghz. If you are looking specifically for gaming I don't think this is your computer, sorry. My husband has installed a couple of games on my laptop that don't play on his desktop, but he says his computer has a much better graphics card for his games like Crysis.

I don't use mine for gaming. I would assume the processor would have difficulty with such applications. I would recommend something with a quad core at a minimum.

Yes though remember part of that depends on your graphics card I would think as long as your not going SLI or even if you are as long as they are not super powered cards you should be good. It's what I am running in my rig right now so I know it works fine.

Yes. You will be able to run the game with those specifications. Although, I do recommend having 4GB or more (8GB ideal) of DDR3 memory to have the game run more smoothly on higher graphics settings.

I bought it for my father-in-law, so I'm not using it all the time. But... I'm thinking it may be that good as a gaming machine. - it does have a good-sized hard drive and a decent processor, but it doesn't have the high end video card that would be best for gaming. It seems to be a good computer and the price was good though.

It runs WoW okay, but you have to keep the settings down low. Recently upgraded the memory to 8Gig which helped a bit for not too much cash. There are also okay video cards that will actually fit in this case. Low profile Radeon HD6000 series cards or NVIDIA 620GT cards are available for less than a hundred dollars and will greatly increase yourgame performance and graphics quality. Still not a top o' the line machine, but nothing to sneer at either.

Probably not. The CPU is really good, but the graphics card will probably need to be upgraded to play SWOR on High. For it's price, it's a good computer to play on Medium.

Absolutely! The graphics card that comes with this computer is not a high performance gaming graphics card. Also, the display port output will not work with a display port converter cable, so it must be connected to a monitor with a display input.

Most games rely mainly on processor power and seeing that this laptop has an AMD 2.7 GHz it should run most modern games at high (maybe not extreme) settings. Not to mention the turbo boost which activates automatically when needed. 4 GB of ram is the average amount needed to run most games today so it should be fine, however I personally recommend upgrading it to 8 GB when you get it. You can do this yourself or bring it to a computer shop.

This laptop is certainly not intended for gaming although gaming is still possible. Experience may vary from one title to the next although in most situations it won't be sufficient enough. To answer your question, no it wouldn't be a good gaming computer though for everything else it should suffice.

Depends. I've only tried minecraft on it and it works pretty good with a few settings changed. I don't really think that this is a "full fledged" gaming computer, though

Yes, it works perfect for gaming. I have this pc with 8 GB of Memory and it run games perfect...Joe

It will work but how much better I don't know. If the graphics card that came with your game computer has 1GB of memory or more, this card may not be better. It's likely the graphics card in your game PC is engineered for gaming. So the best way to get a better one is to look for a gaming card.

Yes, I think so. I can play Battlefield 3 and Skyrim on Maximum settings, at 1680x1050 with very very few lags in graphics. These are two of the most graphically intensive games I know. You should have no problem. Make sure you have at least a 500W PSU to run the card and the rest of your system. I have a 495W PSU and it runs the 2GB GTX 660, my Q6600 Quad Core Processor and 4 GM of RAM, no problems. This card also runs very cool under load, its worth the money. I highly recommend it!
