No, that is an incredibly crappy computer, especially the integrated graphics card, which is complete garbage.

I'm getting windows 7 soon, I'll update this thread, then...

Upgrading your operating system wont make your computer run blockland better unless you are actually getting a new computer, otherwise upgrading to windows 7 will just make your computer even slower, because windows 7 uses more system resources then XP.

Not enough RAM, stuffty video card. The only thing remotely good is the processor, which is average. If I were you, I would stick with XP for that computer.


I would say that processor is below average, even though it says 2 cpu's, it is not a dual core. This is because the later Pentium 4's had hyperthreading which makes the 1 processor appear to be 2, even though it is a single core processor.

1 physical and 1 virtual core.
Not that great but still good for Blockland at least.
RAM is okay for Blockland.
Graphics are pretty horrid.

I suggest keeping Windows XP. Windows 7 won't magically make your computer faster.
