    Hey all, 5 years ago I built a pc mainly as a gaming rig. However once I went to college I had to get a laptop and found the pc gathering dust, that is untill I decided to hook it all back up yesterday!

    Was just wondering though considering its 5 years old, how well does it fare with handling todays latest games such as Shogun 2 or Crysis 2?

    Here are the specs...(ive nearly forgotten what half of this stuff means anymore!)

    Processor - AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 2.2GHz Socket 939,1MB, BOXED w/fan

    Motherboard - EPoX EP-9NPA+ SLI,nForce4 SLI,Socket-939,ATX,S-ATA2,GbLAN,Firewire,DDR, PCI-Ex16

    Graphics Card -nvidia geforce 7800gt 256mb

    1024mb RAM

    many 2009 plus, games require dual core cpu, 2.oghz ,2gig ram 200meg vram grahics card minimum spec ,so for new action games its out of date , its ok for wow ,call of duty 2 , older games or non fps games .Depends what type of game you want to play.
    the cpu is single core, i think crysis 2 needs at least intel core duo, google crysis 2 requirements.sell it on adverts ie, or put in a new mobo ,new cpu ,new grahics card.
    you could sell or give away the old mobo,cpu.
    See http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=616&game=Crysis%202
    get a grahics card at least 512meg vram.
    even the fastest single core cpu wont play the new action, fps games .
