Computer Specs...

PLEASE tell me someone this system is good enough to be able to run games that are coming out, IT TOOK ME so much money and working and time to get this I really don't know what's considered "Good enough" anymore.

MSI 875P NEO-FISR" i875P Chipset Motherboard
1,000 Megabytes of DDRAM PC3200
Pentium 4 3.6 GHZ 800 FSB, 1MB of CACHE
600 WATT Power Supply
ATI X800 XT PE
200 GB Maxtor HD SATA 8MB Buffer
40 GB Western Digital Drive 8MB Buffer
20 GB Western Digital (Deceased, Shorted Out by moi.)
10 GB Western Digital
Windows XP

So now you are telling me this system is not good enough to just AT LEAST run a game on 1024x768 and max settings. Should I just get a dual-pentium system??? please tell me at least if it's good enough.

Dont sweat it! Your system is more than good enough you will have no problems with any games coming out with everything maxed out. And dual proc systems dont do anything for gaming.

It'll last you til 2006 when the next system MS OS comes out. The only piece of hardware you might want to change out in 2005 is the video card, but that's iffy.

In my opinion, a good system should have:

Processor which performs equivalent to a P4 3 GHz
1 GB of RAM

It looks like you have a solid system, friend. Money well spent if you don't intend to upgrade until 2006
