You could always play doom

**Video_freak** · August 11th, 2006, 20:43

you could always play doom from anything between a supercomputer to an iPod nano

hahaha i know but Im hoping along the lines of.. halo, doom 3, counterstrike, WoW... >_<

I have maybe 200 dollars at the most for upgrades

If you dont mean counterstrike : source then i think you can play CS with about 40-50 FPS same like my other eMachines

does it have agp or pci-e?

if so a 150-200 graphics card will allow you to play them pretty well if you don't go crazy with resolution or detail settings(safe bet is the radeon 9800 group or nvidia 7600 set o cards but there are better cards for under $200.

now something like black and white 2 or fear it might have trouble with

You could probably play Postal 2 (if you're crazy like me.)

if you throw in some ram and a decent video card you should be able to play doom 3 and hl2. I can play both of those games on my pc: sempron 1.6ghz, 512 mb ram, geforce 4400 128 mb. ( yeah I know my pc sucks but I am planning on upgrading to a dual core system soon)
