I want to start pc gaming but I have an old pc and dont know what games will run on it. My pc's stats are Hewlett Packard Pavilion Pentium 4 CPU 2.50GHZ

22.49GHz, 248 MB of RAM. Iam asking for help because I dont know a whole lot about computers but I know that 248 mb of ram is very small.

If you get a cheap video card and double your RAM you might be able to play Battlefield 2....but if you want to play anything even remotely new you need a new PC!

Adding RAM is as easy as putting lego together,,,just youtube it. For a cheap video card a 8600GT might be a good match (only buy one if its DIRT cheap though).
