Computer questions

Hey everyone, im looking for a new computer and i came across one that looked mighty fine. Could this run games and have good frame rate?

it's a "HP Pavilion AMD Athlon 2 445 desktop" with a 21.5" lcd monitor

it has:

3 cores at 3.10 each

1 tb of space

and 4 gb of ram


...would this be good for gaming?

Thanks for completely forgetting to include your video hardware.

Also so far it looks pretty good. It's possible you could unlock the fourth core on that, but usually tri-cores are quadcores with one broken core. Yet it's worth a try.

Oh woops the video card is a radeon 4500

It's on-board and has 512 MB vram.

That's pretty bad.

I could probably switch it for a better one when get more cash then.   But yeah would it be ok at playing games?
