should i have pasted this from my dxdiag?



sweet i passed everything

Try the Orange Box as well.

I have ATI 3200, 4GB RAM. I have no idea about how good your processor is, but you  probably will run most of newer games on really bad framerates.
Source games should work fine though.


That setup should be able to handle about any source game, but definitely not any of the much newer games on steam. Semprons suck balls, I used to have one.

It does not look that good.

And also, just because all the games are launched under one service doesn't mean you can say "can I run steam games?" They have Modern Warfare 2 and games from 12 years ago, so at least recognize that that's a bit of an unrealistic title.





I mainly said that because all of my friends have had an ATI GPU sometime in their lives and they have always been utterly let down with graphical glitches, crashing, and failed boots. On the other extreme, I have never had any problems with my Nvidia card.
