its not very good, but if you are willing to spend little money on your computer, its fine
agp video card slot, (they are cheaper than pci-express video cards)
ddr ram, not bad, although people now prefer ddr2...
its all depends on how much money you are willing to spend and the performance also!

not too bad, reliable... hm by brothers computer is similar to this one i think
its like 3years old, and it has pentium 4 2.4ghz cpu in it, pretty stable, i like it.
with only 512 ram and some random ati videocard :D

your choice of motherboard is just fine, for the cpu you are getting, will fit perfectly
 
serious gaming? can be possible, we don't know what kind of video card or how much ram he has or he is going to buy...
it would run cs fine, with some decent video card...
 
ya, you are right,
i should definately play those games, at least i wanna try running them,,,
i am not sure how demanding those games are,
but i thought if we play on low graphics, it would run fine even on a normal computers...
since not everyone have good computers...
