I would have to say that this is a decent computer. It won't be able to run something like crysis at high, but it would run any of the eGO games at high.
It all depends upon what you want to do with the computer.
 
More RAM would be nice, and I have no idea what that price is or even what currency it is. Other than that, like bob said, decent.
 
yeah I would go with a little more ram but not more than 4 total

No it's not. i7 and DDR3 based computers off very little real world performance improvement in games and are prohibitively expensive for many people. Just because it doesn't have the latest, and most expensive, technology that doesn't make it a bad computer.

Could use a little more RAM if it's runs Windows Vista, other than that it's a well balanced lower-mid-range gaming computer. A newer motherboard would be nice if you plan to upgrade your video card in the future because the P35 chipset only supports PCI-E 16x 1.0 while newer motherboards support version 2.0. As of right now there is no noticeable performance loss if you put a PCI-E 2.0 video card in a PCI-E 1.0 slot, but you never know what the future may hold.

Yes it could
If my pentium dual @ 2.8GHz can
Then intel core 2 duo @ 3GHz defo can

More RAM
You don't need something obscure like 4GB
But you will need more than what it comes with.
You can get RAM rather cheaply now so just get 2x 1GB and 2x 512MB and you will be fine
Most computers don't even use more than 4GB of RAM...
Only people who have a zillion apps all open and visable have the need for it.

True. He needs a better video card if he can afford it. Of course it's hard to speculate, but playing post 2008 games on low or medium will most likely yield good performance, and some people are happy playing computer games at lower settings, they go to their consoles if they want better graphics.

Blue Kaoz "is this good" is such a relative question when referring to computers. I think we'd like to know what you expect from the computer and what your budget is.

dude i built a computer over 4 years ago that a friend uses to play tf2. you don't need the most up to date comp to play the latest games.
 
that computer i playing day of defeat on have 512 mb ram?;) is run great. i will use this computer to playing tf2 call of duty day of defeat :)

but is not a great computer?
 
It's ok, I'd spend more money on the video card first then RAM.
All depends on what games your trying to play at what resolution.
 
Sorry if I missed it, but did anyone post the price in USD or Pounds? Something for clearer reference. I'd say that computer should be ~300-400 USD, you could find those parts and lego block it together if you have time. Most of those parts are low-mid end, I would recommend just building as you'd get a better computer for the money.
And yes, the computer there is near obsolete considering newer games, the 9600 will barely push 40-50 fps on high (not very high) with no AA on games like DoDS or Cstrike, I don't even know what the fps/quality is for newer games (CoD MW2!!!).
 
Yeah, that's a good computer. I think the price is decent for being prebuilt.
