Hi Lil_sasha and welcome to TSF,

What type of games are you going to try and play?
And what type of graphics card do you have?

Hey

Nfs Pro Street. not sure of the Graphics card. But if i google the min specs
then is 512 Mb RAM.

Adding more memory would help also since other programs running will cut back on available memory for your games. Another 512MB stick would be a goo all-around addition.

To find some system specs do the following.

Click on the start button > Programs > Accessories > Run
In the box type dxdiag. This will load up DirectX Diagnostic Tool, this will display a lot about your PC.
Once it has fully loaded click the button "Save all information" and save it to desktop.
Open the txt file and copy all the text, by doing Ctrl+A it will select everything on in that file then on your reply box press Ctrl+V. This will paste all information into the message box.
Please include the following around the pasted text. "[code#] < Text Here > [/code#]"
Do not include # in after the code, its just so it wont create the box like this.

Code:
