is my computer strong enough for any good games? it has a 1.70GHz cpu and 760mb of ram.?

sure it is strong enough.  Depends on what type of game you like.  I recommend Diablo II and if you are willing to risk the addiction Everquest aka EverCrack or Wow world of Warcraft.  On the last 2 just turn down some of the graphic settings and the games should run with no problem.

Try ubid.com if you are lucky, you should get a mid-end laptop under 1000.  Otherwise, try Fry's Electronics.  You're better off with 2 operating system for gamings, make 2 partitions and install 2 O/S on each of them.  98 is best for games, in my opinion.

Are you planning on building it yourself?  Or are you buying a factory built one from a reseller/retail?  I suggest, at the very least, 1gb of RAM.  Simply because, it means you won't be limited to being able to run only a few high demand processes at once.  Also, consider no less than a 2.4Ghz processor (I suggest that if you are going to be buying this computer for real media use, get a 3.2 Ghz processor).  Make sure that you grab a graphics card with 256mb RAM (simply because if you watch dvds and tv, you'll want good quality).  Make sure your graphics card has a TV-in/out plug so that you can hook it to your tv or plug in your cable/satellite to it.  Other than that, it's up to you.  Although, I suggest you buy one with PCI-e slots instead of regular PCI since recent hardware has been made for PCI-e slots.  (and it's much faster)

will be unplayable\ni have X1600 (PRO w/ 512MB DDR2, 2 GB RAM, 2 2GHz CPUs...)\nyou will have to go down to 1024*720 possibly even 800x500 to get any decent frame rates :(like 15 to 20 fps):

I've set a bunch of people up with the E1505.  Depending on which graphics card you got, yes, most games will play fine on your computer.  In particular, WoW and CS will work fine.  If you skimped out on ram, you may want to install more.  But overall the E1505 is a sturdy machine, it should be able to run your games fine.

no, u r in dire need of up grading. no it is honestly less to buy a new 'puter than 2 upgrade. your video card is good, its what ive got but your total mem sux. plus get 512 ram and a 1 gig slave drive. ooh im still impressed with mine and it was only  $350 new. from wally-world, i mean wal- mar, u know.

definitely get more RAM - at least 1gb, and 2gb if you can. \n\nalso, a 250gb hard drive would be useful, and quite cheap.\n\nperhaps a new graphics card, 256mb....\n\nor get a mobo that supports pci-express and sata hard drive, with 3.4ghz P4...

You'll probably find the source link useful.  It's a web app that will test your system configuration against the requirements for various games.

It depends on what you plan to do with the computer.  If you're going to run the games you but at the store, you will need the fastest CPU available, best video card (not integrated video) with minimum of 256 MB video RAM, and the most system memory (minimum of 1GB RAM), a SATA based hard drive, at least 160GB in size.  A DVD player is necessary much of the time now, also.

id say 512 ram+ 1.7ghz(at least) that should make u work really fast

you should get a memory upgrade.\n\nwith ram prices so low, you should probably go for 1Gb ram =)

look at memory, sound card, processor speed, video card, and internet speed if they r all of da best den u will enjoy highly graphical games at thier best quality.

It all depends on what applications you intend to run on it. Games and heavy duty graphics programs may run better with more RAM.

I'm using a Gateway 7510gx, and damn is it good.  Plays Half-Life 2 perfectly, and it only cost $1000 brand new at best buy.

It's ok but it all depends on what kind of games you are playing.  Your graphics card would be ok with 250mb but what does it connect to... ei. PCI, AGP or PCI express.  Also what's the clockspeed on your processor, and how powerful is you RAM.  You should be good to play games, but i don't think you'll be ok for High-end games, unless you turn down all the graphics settings on the game.\n\nHere's the specs on my crappy ass desktop\nCeleron Processor at 2.8ghz\n512mb Geforce 6200 (PCI)\n1GB RAM PC3200, 400mhz\n80 GB HDD\n\nand it's good for some games but not for high end games.  I try to play City of Villains on it and i gotta turn down all the graphics settings and it still sucks, my laptop has more ass to it than this piece of crap\nMy Laptop Specs\nAMD Athalon 64-bit 3400+\n1 GB RAM\nATI Mobility Radeon 9800\n80 GB HDD\n\nand i can play City of Villains without having to sacrifice graphics or performance\n\nMy veredict homeboy, is to upgrade your graphics card maybe get a better PC for high end games.

That machine will rock for current games.  My only concern is the GeForce 7800 GTX video card.  There is a new Nvidia card (the 8800 series) that supports Microsoft DirectX 10.  If you plan on upgrading and gaming on Windows Vista (comes out Jan 30, 2007), then you will need this card (or another that supports DX10, currently it's the only one).\n\nOverall this is a great rig for now, but in just a few months you'll need to buy a new video card.  Video cards can be uber expensive (up to $600), so it might be worth the wait.

No such thing as too much, man. Your computer is perfect for that kind f gaming. The 7900 GT might not be as good as your current configuration.
