    nope, you have an XP which has a crappy core vs the a64, your ram could be slow and have poor bandwidth and the 6600 vanilla isnt a very strong card.

    Hey Omega, he just asked could it.....don't be getting all "worst case scenario" on us. ;)

    Stitched, your computer is awesome for gaming. How, you ask? Personally (and I'm ashamed of this), I have:

    Athlon XP 2900 (OCed to 3200, Barton Core)
    512MB RAM
    ATI Radeon 9600XT

    With this garbage :eek: , I am playing Doom 3 on medium graphics, Counter-Strike Source and Half-Life 2 on High, and getting around 40-50 FPS on each. Your computer is great, as long as you take good care of it, like I have with my bucket of bolts.

    He specifically asked if he can do it on full graphx and top games like FC and D3.

    full graphx means 1600x1200 AS/FSAA/32bit/full shadows; he will get like 6fps with that rig

    Full everything? No. However, Roland is correct, you will be able to play Far Cry and Doom3 at good framerates. And it will look very good.

    lol
    no offence Omega

    this may not be the best of all PCs but it is definetly a solid gameing pc.. not on max details and resolution but it should be able to play all games with decent graphics

    OK, OK, you showed me. When he said "full graphics", I kinda spaced and took a liberal interperatation of his message. 1 Point for Omegamerc ;)
