Best Answer: To play most modern game you will have to change 2 (maybe 3) things on your PC. 1. Your graphics card, I believe the 6100 is onboard. There are problems with this graphics card (the 6100 and the 6200) when playing certain games, even though it's in the 6 range this is the lowest of that range. If you stick with nVidia change it to the 6600 or the 7600. You will notice the improved performance straight away when playing games like Oblivion. 2. Increase your RAM, 256-512mb is the norm now a days for games, but remember you will also have background proceses running in Windows while you play games. Increase this to a minimum of 1 gb, pref 2gb. Again you will see a good inprovement when you play games. 3. This is optional, a bigger hard drive. Depending on how much space you have left on your PC, you may wish to have more. Remember you need at lest 12% free disk space to perform a good defrag and with new games taking more and more space, you'll soon run out of HD space. Maybe upgrade to a 200gb drive or bigger. The rest of your spec's are great. Remember AMD mark up their CPU's differently than Intel, so because you have a 3300+, it's preformance speed is suppose to run at a 3ghz chip while it's core speed run's at 2ghz. *However in the next few yesrs you may wish to take a look at the dual core chips from AMD & Intel, but it's not necessary at the moment.

yeah, you could. You could play most games conveniently on that machine. My rating: Lower-High-End. Most games, even some of the more demanding games should run fast enough, although some of the most demanding games might not allow you to use Maximum quality. In short, yeah. It is already a good gaming rig, which is no way too excessive. Perhaps the only thing you should change is your memory (RAM), get at least 1 GB DDR2 RAM or two 512 MB DDR2 RAM. You don't need to build a new machine, just change your RAM. The rest, should be good enough. You've got a pretty good processor for gaming (Sempron 3300+), Enough Harddisk, Good Graphic Card (GF 6100, it's on the side of the higher end). Games made within last 3 years should run good using their default setting, if you're talking if you can use maximum graphic setting, don't ask me, try the game yourself, and see if the speed you get is good enough with the maxed out setting. - Liars never lies

it really depends on what games.. if you mean like CS condition zero or below and stuff then yea but if u mean something like Ghost recon advanced warfighter, Oblivion, battlefield 2142 then no - Too_broke_for_a_good_comp
