hey i was just wondering what u guys think about this comp.
i wanted a low budget system just to do some word, surfing and a few low grade games.
would this be good for that??

Well, that all depends, what do you consider low grade games???

 

[Hawk16]

old games like diablo II, starcraft, warcraft 3, and age of empires 2

You should be ok, its just maybe the graphics card might slow it down, but since those are older games, they'll probably run.

well the thing is i got a trojan on the comp im using now so imma change to that one
anyways this one can run these games pretty good too
its a celeron 2.0 ghz 256 ram 160 gig hdd and has onboard graphics so i dont have a gpu on this one

Diablo II doesnt really need much.... i run it at school with a 600MHz P3, 512MB RAM (dont ask, i had it lieing around and decided to put it in my classroom computer) integrated graphics, and like a 8gb hdd

ya, i used to run age of empires 2 on a 1.0 celeron 128mb ram and integrated graphics

so that one should be fine! although 512mb would be nice.

I ran it with 128mb of ram and a 32MB graphics card. Ran fine

You'll choke if you push WarCraft III but otherwise you'll be ok

well the thing is i got a trojan on the comp im using now so imma change to that one

Well you can always remove the trojan instead of buying a new machine....
