As far as I know, the processor brand is of no matter on what program can be played. Especially for AMD and Intel since both brands is actually a copy of each other. You have to read their history, where at one point, a judge declare that AMD and Intel can copy each other's technology without paying a cent.  AMD makes an Intel-compatible processor, and a very fine one, meaning the microlanguage AMD uses is similar if not the same to Intel's microlanguage.\n\nIn most cases, it must be other problems.

it is compatable with the following CPUs\n\nAMD Athlon™ XP Processors\nAMD Athlon™ Processors\nAMD Duron™ Processors\n\ncopy the threee lines of this link for complete compatability\n\nftp://ftp.fic.com.tw/\nmotherboard/cpu_table/\nsocketa/at31.pdf

Check the game for the system requirements, if you meet the minimun requirements then you can play it, but only in the lowest graphics settings.  You should consider getting a newer better computer if you plan on playing games.

As far as I can tell you have plenty of Hard Drive space and RAM.\nI dont know much about your graphics card.  I think you'd have no problem at all with World of Warcraft, the system requirements aren't all that bad.  As for the Civ's, they probably require more oomph on the video card side, your card will probably handle it ok.\n\nMight go on the net to a PC Forum or two and ask this question there.\n\nGood luck Hon.

The above poster is wrong, just having a fast internet connection will not just magically make it work.  Your CPU is very slow and your graphics card is dated and you don't have much RAM.  It won't be very enjoyable at all.  You COULD play it with your processor if you made up for it by getting a new video card and double your RAM.  Then it should at least be playable enough for you to enjoy it.  Otherwise no it won't run well at all.  I had a 1.8 Ghz with a 64 meg video card and 512 RAM and it ran like crap until I got a new video card and more RAM so I don't see how it would run well at all with 1000 less MHz.  Keep in mind the minimum requirments are not the RECOMMENDED requirments, you want to SURPASS the minimum if you want to be able to do anything.

I had a similar problem.  I didn't take it to a PC doctor, I just buried it and played taps.  It was three years old and did fine for me in that time.  Now that I bought a new processor, perhaps I'll dig it up and see if anything can be done.

find out the manufacture for your video card (ex. AMD, aseus, etc.) and go to their website and go to updates and look for one there. this could also be a problem with the card not being designed right. GET A NEW CARD.

You are using the highest CPU.\nMotherboard have support for more, but AMD didn't released better vesion of 2000+ for this motherboard.\n\nTake care

omg YESSSSSSSS... HOLD ON I'LL FIND IT  yes you asses.there a freekin page that will tell you if you can handle games er not  1 sec\n\nfoooook i cant find that page.it was so usefull  but all i coould get is this microjunk 1..load it up in i.e. and hit the scan my puter button on the bottom left\n\n\nok found it 3 hours later...\npick yer game then hit scanit  ------------------->\nhttp://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/gamespy_all

Check your processor fan....since AMD heats up quickly...\n\nif possible change it these days AMD's company recomended fans are coming in market....\n\nComputer hangs just because of heat up....\n\nuse new fan...with new heat sink...\n\nchange cabinet if possible....for better vantilation\nor if possible fit extra fans in your cabinate\n\nu didn't tell what os u r using??\n\nand which net connection u r using??\n\nhanging of computer has nothing to do with virus\nits very rare case\n\nPlz look for new fan with heavier original AMD heatsink\n\nand make cabinet more vantilated...with more fans

The sempron is AMD's low end processor, like the celeron from intel.  If you want a good AMD processor go with and AMD Athlon XP or an AMD Athlon 64.  In general AMD is better than intel in my opinion.  They are built on a different architecture, which is what the 3300+ rating means.  It means that the processor is equal to an Intel P4 3.3Ghz.  Some of the AMDs have great overclocking potential, the same cant be said for intel.

sempron has a bigger cache, typically for gamers and hard core pc users.\nceleron is for office related kind of stuff.

The equivalent of the sempron 3000+ 1.8 GHz is about the Celeron D 335 2.8GHz according to this test report.\n\nhttp://techreport.com/reviews/2004q3/sempron/index.x?pg=1

between the turion and the sempron, definetely the turion 64, both are AMD, but the turion is a 64 bit processor, the sempron is not, with turion you can later upgrade to Microsoft Vista, not the sempron, and in general, I have bad experience with sempron and celeron processors, they thend to freeze up more often when running more than one application at same time.\n\nabout the video cards, I have used both and both are good, but of course I dont play games, maybe someone that use his computer for games can answer that better. because is about the only time that your video card gets more load of work, DVDs look nice on either one...

ATI Radeon 8500 or GeForce 3 or 4 MX Series Video Card with 32MB of VRAM are minimum compatibility specifications for Guild Wars Factions.\n\n ATI RAGE Mobility P/M AGP 2X has only Memory 8MB, thats well below minimum compatibility specifications.
