TBH, I would be amazed if you got steady game play at all. Your RAM is in serious need of upgrading, especially if at the time of posting this, you only had 20MB free.

The 256MB from your video would be enough to get you running IF it were dedicated, but even then you would be rather sluggish, if not unplayable given the outdating of it and such.

Adding to it, it is integrated which means it is shared. You will never get the full performance you would even from a small 256 dedicated card.

Lastly, judging by your L1 and L2 Cache sizes, your CPU is also severely outdated.

I mean not to be rude, or demean your system, just offering what I can see from the report.

I am assuming this is a laptop?

Nah man its ok, Criticize away haha, I need all the help I can get. Nah, its a desktop.. my bros. What could I add or upgrade to this from what you can see to make the game run at least at "Somewhat" good speeds? And also, what com would you recommend I buy for much better online and offline gaming performance?
“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.” -Albert Einstein
If it is feasible to do for you :

*More RAM
*Dedicated Video Card
*Newer Processor

The downfall to this is that judging by the parts in use, the motherboard may not support a whole lot more. And I am willing to bet that it wont.

On top of that, the cost of replacing everything above could get costly, and it may be more feasible to just purchase a new machine entirely---or build one.

What you should do all depends on what you CAN do.

PS : I should have known it was a desktop. It's late. Ignore it xD

Yeah, I guess that would be the most basic things I could do to at least give it a little jump.

Probably not, he has had it for a while now... maybe like 5 or 6 years maybe? I think.

Which com would you purchase on a budget of lets say $1,000 - $500 or so.

Lol its kewl.
“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.” -Albert Einstein
Personally, if I were spending $500 or more, I would just build a PC.

Mine, for example, is not anywhere near top shelf quality. But it runs everything I throw at it, and ran less than $500.

All I have in mine is as follows :

OCZ Mod X Stream Pro 600W Modular PSU - $74
MSI 760GM-P23 Motherboard - $49
AMD Phenom II X4 955 - $89
Corsair H40 Liquid Cooler - $60
G Skill Ripjaws 8GB DDR3 RAM - $41
AMD Radeon HD 6770 1GB - $100

That is only around $400 and will handle most of what you toss at it. Granted, it doesnt include my case or hard drive. Which is because I bought an excessive case and HDD, as such they are irrelevant to a budget. But both can be gotten rather cheaply, unless you wish to pay a higher price. Even the liquid cooler is an option, not a necessity.

You wont find anything along these lines on a store shelf for under $500, but you can build it, easily.

Building your own is and always will be cheaper than buying one.

I'd build a brand new comp that one not really worth upgrading unless you can find the right ram and GFX card cheap as hell.

You could build a pretty good comp for a $1000 dollars

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=670049&CatId=7247 $134.99 before $20 Mail in rebate

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5692033&CatId=4431 $109.99

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5082129&CatId=4527 $64.99

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=41024&CatId=1510 $119.00 before $20 Mail in rebate

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4362114&CatId=1483 $74.99 before $25 Mail in rebate

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7288041&CatId=2459 $89.99

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=356682&CatId=3669 $172.99 before $30 Mail in rebate

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5213934&CatId=306 $139.99

Grand total before rebates $906.93
after rebates $811.93

So it's easlily done to by parts and build your own comp
for a fraction of what it costs to buy the whole thing retail.

A comparible store bought comp would easily cost you over
$1500 and a store bought comp priced at $811 is gonna perform at half the specs as this build or is on one hell of a sale :), and theres plenty of options out there to raise or lower the price depending on how much you are willing to spend and the performance you want hell if you lived real close to me I would even put it together for you for $20 and an energy drink.
I keep hearing about "The Real World" is that an expansion or something ??

oooo sweet! Thanks for all the input guys. Last night I stayed up pretty late watching how to build your own computer videos from new egg and I learned a ton!! Check out this gaming case. I think it's pretty good,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQADafqEjvE

What other cases do you guys like or recommened?

Edit: The Azza CSAZ-1000R Solano 1000R Full Tower Gaming Case looks pretty sweet. :) I have a question, why is the phenom cpu so popular?

Edit2: lol $20 dollars and an energy drink. haha

What other cases do you guys like or recommened?


A nice chassis, indeed. And thank you for linking to it; My wife liked it as well, and it will be used for her build once I finish my upgrades next month xD

Personally, I use the Ultra m998 case. Mainly due to it's size which leave plenty of room for larger components, better airflow, etc...

I also picked it because of the top mount PSU placement. When put together with the fact that each panel (sides, top, and front) is removable, plus it's removable motherboard tray --- this makes for a very easy case to work with.

It also has the Ultra PowerBar, which is a handy feature. Along with the side duct over the CPU.

What case you use is all going to depend on your price range, and what you want out of the case.

The important parts to consider in any case is airflow and accessibility. You dont want a bunch of cables restricting airflow and adding the chance of cooling issues.

You also will not want to work in a space that is too constricted and requires some form of hand yoga to get items in place and wires tucked away.

The case you linked too would solve most issues of concern for your average builder.

EDIT : If you are around Northeast Ohio or Northwest PA by some odd chance, I'll bring the Energy Drinks; You keep the $20 xD

EDIT 2 : I have actually worked with the Solano a few times. It is a very nice tower to work with, but it is much too large for most people's needs.

EDIT 3 : Phenom - Price, Speed, and Motherboard Compatibility

If you are thinking of components of various price ranges I'd suggest giving THIS article a read from over at tech report. I visit the site regularly and find the information quite reliable. Plus the guide is pretty recent so you aren't 'a step behind' so to speak.
