Re: is my computer a "good " computer

Everything is fine with that except the video card. Expect low settings with that card. First upgrade for you should be to a 7600 gt or higher....

I think you should be able to run BF2 on medium settings...

Re: is my computer a "good " computer

I have exactly the same card and it runs fine on medium, with high geometry and view. Turn dynamic shadows and ligting off and its great.

New video card + .5 Gigs more RAM and you should run everything on high.

Re: is my computer a "good " computer

My friend has the same system in the form of a dell desktop and it works just fine. Don't expect it to play well though since the ins and outs of a laptop's hardware is pretty different.

Re: is my computer a "good " computer

Get atleast an x1000 series card. The x300 is not only slow and horrible, but its an older generation card, lacking shader 3.0 support.

Another thing, if this is a laptop, a 3ghz P4 is going to be immobile, and basically a furnace with no battery life.

Re: is my computer a "good " computer

That's wierd, I thought they would put a Pentium M or a Core Duo in there instead of a Pentium 4. If you haven't bought it yet, I'd go for a laptop with a Core Duo. As for the graphics, eh, you pay tons of money but only get medium quality graphics with laptops. If you want to play games well, I'd wait a little over a month and get a desktop :)
