Yes, u can play modern games and new games such as Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, seeing all your specifications of your PC, I can say that u can run most games today, without delay is fine, it is not recommended for u to get a Quad, u can still play new games with your current processor, but quad is better. The graph that I can say is a good card, if you SLI would be better. 4GB of RAM is quite enough for games, plus you can always improve. And Vista support for the latest games as well, so I have to say that all modern games that work in your PC, and more to come from new games running on it too. Upgrading to 1GB of RAM, although it is good, you can make it even better. And yes, your PC is not bad for games, u can run good games and again.
get the quad core
it will run games faster
you'll have no problem running games like Cal duties on high settings
compared to what is on the market now, I average width less than the graphics card is pulling down overall performance.
Say $ 800. I would have a better graphics card. Go with the quad core and have something like a NVIDIA 2xx. Also a better diet
Hello my friend
To play with a computer first CPU is the most important factor.
Core 2 Quad Core is better than 2Dua for games. I have another suggestion, if you have money
Buy Intel Core i 7 with X58 motherboard. In my idea, it is the best system for games in the world.
What about VGA & RAM, please buy DDR3, since it is more suitable for games.
