nah... its good for surfing the net and writing emails. But you cant game on it. Well i guess you could at 640x480 everything on ultra low.

There really isn't an absolute answer, because whether a computer component is good or not depends on what the price was and how you're using it. It's likely to be much more powerful than your old solution, but it's not what most gamers would consider good. If you want to check your framerate with different settings, try FRAPS. It's a handy little utility that will show your current frames per second even within a game. It's nice to have 25-30 FPS in a strategy or RPG, with 45+ in a FPS. If your machine stutters, you might need to turn down textures, add ram, get a better sound card, close background programs, or any number of other adjustments. If you search the forums for any game you play a lot, you can often find a thread detailing such things.

But if you get too caught up in numbers, you might spend more than you can afford and still miss the point of gaming. Are you getting enough details and frames that you're happy with your purchase? That's the real question. :)

well c&c generals should run on it at 1024*768 at medium settings. A 6600 or 7600 would have been a much better choice
