basicly i want to play COD4 and counter strike source. can i?

Answer 1

yes it should play it on high settings too

Answer 2

you have more than good enough system to run those games.  

Answer 3

Looks okay...you could probably play CoD4 on low-med and you could run CSS pretty well on max without AF or AA.

Answer 4

Looks great ..

Answer 5

its ok but it wont be future proof for the next 4 months. upgrade your video card and your mems.

Answer 6

im guessing you can because i can run those on my laptop with the following specs:

2.5GHz core II duo

4gb ddr II

500gb 5400rpm

ati radeon 3650 1gb



you should get 2gb more of ram and vista 64 bit so you can use more than 2gb of ram. you might want to also get a better power supply because the ones that come with the case arent that good.

OH... and get battlefield 2, its way better than cs:s and cod4. cod4 tried to copy alot of stuff from bf2 but it failed.

Answer 7

That should do it
