How good is my computer?

I want to be able to run games likeCOD MW2

Do I need to upgrade or is this OK:

Pentium Dual-Core

2.60GHz

2GB RAM

Windows 7 32-bit

Intel G41 express chipset

DirectX 11

For playing games

CPU Not good

RAM OK

GPU Horrific

OS Doesn't make much difference

I assume this is a prebuilt machine.

You might get better and more constructive answers in the PC Hardware forum:P

If he just wants to run MW2 it's fine.. I could run it on a computer with 1.6 Ghz, 1.5 GB RAM and a 2600 HD and that was on max. settings no lag.

CPU isn't THAT bad, It's a Pentium Dual Core, not a Pentium D - it's basically a Core 2 Duo with less cache. A better GPU and you should handle MW2 just fine.

I didn't say it was bad I just said it was "not good"

Actually, the OS does make a difference. Not the type itself but if its 32 bit or 64 bit. I tried both and the difference is huge. Def go with 64 bit, it makes your cpu so much better. For example, i played gta 4 on 32 bit and i honestly couldnt play it at all, it was just so damn laggy in singleplayer and i was playing on medium to low settings. I upgraded then to 64 bit and now it runs smooth and im playing medium to high settings, and as most know, that game requires such high requirements although it doesnt look like it does.
