How well would this PC run games like COD4,COD5,Medal of honor:airbourne,crysis and f.e.a.r.?(I don't want to max crysis or w/e,medium settings would do).

P4 3.2GHz,1GB of ram and a 512mb 3850.(Resolution is 800x600 or 1024x768).And what if I upgraded the ram to 2gb's?Thanks in advance.

It wont do too bad at 1024x768 Upgrading to 2gb wont hurt and it wont cost much to do. Of course I assume your using xp, right.

that card will do very good at high settings at those low resolutions and adding a extar gig would help improve ur performance.

edit that p4 will hold u back so u would be good upgrading ur processor to a dual core if u could.

if you can harvest extra money before x-mas get a E8400 you'l end up being much much faster then E5200 :D and run game on high with no problems if you get a 8800GT

but at last if you can get a E5200 is far better then P4 so better then nothing ;)

If it's DDR2, upgrade and take it with you when you overhaul. It's so cheap now why not go to 3GB like me.

i put my 8800gt in my family's p4 3ghz machine and i could max everything but crysis just like in my core 2 duo machine. the only difference is just a few frames and boot up takes forever.
