-I wanted to get a comp for round 600 dollars, and I plan on playing games like Age of Empires III and Counter Strike Source, will this comp run these games efficiently?

Cool graphics: The integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900, the PCI-Express interface and up to 224MB of shared video memory will enhance your multimedia. This desktop also supports DirectX™ 9, so you can play the latest games.

You wont be able to play CS:S or AOE3 on that, well maybe on lowest settings, but it wont be enjoyable. you will need a video card.

well you can be glad there's an open pci-e slot..cause some of the cheaper emachine doesn't have pci-e or agp...

I have a 64 Mb radeon video card in my present computer, can I just transfer that to my new one or will I need a better one to run AOE3 and CSS?

You'll need a better one. At least a 6600, how much do you have to spend on a new gfx card?

Diadone · 11-30-2005, 04:10 AM

Well I don't know how much exactly I have to spend, but I would like to stay under 70 $...
