um well, you would need more RAM ..atleast 1gb i would say to play most of those, also your GPU (Graphics card) would be the major factor need to know what you have.

You will be able to play FFXI on low settings. However, in regards to the other stuff I highly doubt it.

What kind of video card do you have?

If you have an integrated video card, I doubt you can play any of those games except maybe final fantasy.

I'm lucky that I got a really top of the line gaming Dell when I bought mine in 2003. I only have 1 gb ram, 3.2 ghz P4, 64MB Radeon graphics card but I can play most of the games that are out on low-medium settings.

 Yeah, you will need to upgrade two things: Gaming graphicscard, 1 or 2 GB rams. and maybe a new power supply too. Older PC are alrite sometimes. but Im not sur about 5 years old tho.

hopefully you have an AGP slot, because logic dictates that you will need a graphics card to run any new game.  you will also, of course, need ram.. you can get a gig cheap online for about 40 bux for your PC i would bet.

Oblivion should be okay with a certain mod i found on the net.  I have a 1.6 GHZ laptop, integrated graphics card, 512mb RAM and using that mod i could run Oblivion on full graphics.  Yeah, honest!  It's called "Oldblivion" and is designed for older systems, so you could probably just use that. 

BUT

Resi 4?  I doubt it.Â
