Name: Nvidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
Manufacturer: Nvidia
Chip Type: GeForce 6150 SE nForce 420
DAC Type: Integrated RAMDAC
Approx Total Memory: 1400MB
Current Display: 1366 x 768 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Monitor: HP w185e Wide LCD Monitor (that doesnt matter Im sure)

the computer is only a year or two old, and the most CPU I take up with something is Steam, only to use voice chat, and Facebook is never open, let alone the internet at all.

main point of this is that I run something simple like Minecraft on lowest everything, most of the time on Short/Normal render distance and smooth lighting on, but Minecraft can be very laggy, only occasionally getting to around 40-60fps, and every game on Steam (which includes Portal 2, HL2 campaigns, HL2 DM, etc.) runs pretty bad on lowest settigns.

so good or bad specs, or is there something I can do about this gay comp

if I need to give any more info then I will

I don't see why not. Both ways pretty much tell you the same things.


i assume you know its obvious your comp cant game.
however for everything else;
1400mb ramz is your main problem

Yep. Youd need like 4 gb ram. Like me!
