HI,
Yesterday I ordered a Dell Dimension Intel Desktop Computer - Intel Pentium 4 631 3.0GHz (HT), 1GB DDR2, 250GB SATA II HDD, DVD±RW Dual-Layer, Flash Media Reader, Windows Vista Home Premium. I also ordered a 2 gig memory stick because what I heard visa don't run so well on 1 gig. I was trained on XP so I don't know. I also bought a nVIDIA PNY verto GeFORCE 1 gig DDR Graphics card to put in it. Now, with all those specs I provided to you, do you think I can play Call of duty 4 without lagging out and nice looking graphics? Or do you think I'd be better off formatting the hard drive and Installing windows xp pro on this thing. I think with xp pro this computer with all the extra's would be faster than S**T.
What do you guys think?
Thank alot for those of you who took the time to read this and answer me back.

Should run fine. The limiting factor in your computer would be the CPU, which really shouldn't be a problem for games.

Try out Vista for a week or two and then decide if you want to switch back to XP. You might like Vista.

I play COD 4 with an ATI 256mb PCIE card and an A64 X2 4200+ w/2gb ram. I have heard that the # of pipelines on a Video card is equal to or more important than the onboard ram. Mine has 16 pipelines, from what I understand, and I can play Crysis, while I've seen people with much more expensive cards complaining of terrible framerates.
