I am thinking of buying a computer...?

Question

It is a dell optiplex sx270 with a p4 2.8ghz processor. It has 1.0GB RAM and a 75GB hard drive. I want to play games like warcraft 3 and the first counterstrike... will this cpu be able to handle it? P.S. I don't care about graphics.

Answer 1

I have a computer that has 1.0 GB RAM. I can't play games on it because there is too much lag. Instead get an Acer AM5100-U5302A. It has 2.0 GB RAM and 500 GB HDD so you can store plenty of games on it.

Answer 2

Go to several reliable name stores in your area and price them out. Do not settle for the first one because the salesperson is nice.

Answer 3

get a acer

Answer 4

e-machine this are very fast computers! but if you are planning on filling your computer with a bunch of junk and you want your computer to still run as fast as if you just bought it get a dell ins. or get a mac those are very good if you have a lot of files stored on your computer..

but if your not looking to store a bunch of files, and just using your computer for everyday things, just buy the newest e-machine. these are very cheap and very good for everyday life computer use.

hope i helped!

Answer 7

It will be able to handle those games fine.

Consider getting a bigger harddrive and more memory. If it runs Vista you need more than 1 Gb do have it running smoothly.

Ask them to install XP.

Answer 8

If you want to play games like those, you will definitely need to get a better system. Dell Optiplex is a line of computers made specifically for Small Businesses, not for gaming. And in order to run those games, you must have a proper graphics card. It doesn't matter if you care or don't care about graphics, you will need a graphics card. The CPU is a Intel P4, that is very outdated, try looking at something more recent. I suggest finding a computer with a Core 2 Duo processor with at least 1.83-2.0GHz, at least 2GB-3GB of RAM for running Vista, at least a 160GB hard drive, a graphics card with at least 256MB of GDDR2 memory.

Answer 9

Yes, this machine will do very well at running older games like Warcraft III and the original Counterstrike, but it won't handle anything much newer than that. I definitely wouldn't pay more than $200-$300 for it.

Answer 10

No. This IS NOT ideal for gaming. You want atleast 2gigs of RAM.

And grafix is an important thing. it runs yur game faster.
