Will it work?

[Koopa]

Im looking into buying a computer, and Ive found one with these specs:


* AMD Athlon 64Bit 4200 x 2 Dual Core Processor (upgradeable to AMD Athlon 64Bit 4600 x 2)
* Quality Asus Motherboard
* 1024MB PC3200 DDR (upgradeable to 2048MB PC3200 DDR)
* 256MB Nvidia 7600 GS PCI-Express Graphics Card
* 16x Dual Layer DVD ReWriter
* 250GB SATA Hard Drive
* Floppy drive
* 5.1 Channel Audio

Will these specs be able to run BF2?

If they cant, please reccomend a PC (£500 or lower).

Thanks.

Re: Will it work?

It will definitely run BF2, but the video card is squarely on the low-end side.

edit: and the RAM is dead-end (ddr v ddr2/pc3200 v. pc2xxxx). Not a big deal if you don't plan on recycling it later, though.

For the price that is a great pre-built PC. It will run BF2 on mostly medium and some high.

I can change the RAM to DDR2, will that make it better?

Can you give a link to the comp?

DDR2 is better and newer.

You can if you have a mobo that supports both ddr and ddr2, like mine does.
