Ok, this might be silly, but I just wanted to know what is allowing me to play some of my games at a good rate...

My system spec is:

Intel Celeron-Core 450

2 gb ddr2 ram

nVidia 6200 256md vram OC'd

250 gb 7,200 rpm hdd

I am able to run UT3 at 1024*768 very smoothly (without physX of course) and Quake 4 at highest settings with no lag...

I know I have a system that is well below minimum settings of all games that came out after 2008, I was just wondering how am I able to run Bioshock perfectly at 1024*768??? I'm puzzled! i was gonna upgrade, but I don't think I need to now...

I dont think that video card even meets the minimum requirements to play bioshock does it? also seems a new pc is the way to go mate, or get another 2gb ram and a better gpu best agp slot one ive seen is a Ati 4670, or its Nvidia equivalent, unsure whether you have pci-e x16 slot on your motherboard, whats your motherboard?

I have an LGA775 motherboard thingy... (Don't know how to make it clearer, I'm kind of computer illiterate...)
