I wouldnt expect much in terms of gaming performance with a lot of the games currently out, simply due to the integrated graphics and sempron. It will play some (older ones) obviously, but it depends on the games.

It'd be fine as a general machine eg. internet, office etc. How much is it going for?

wouldn't be able to play new games at any decent res, may even struggle with HL2 and CSS. general use it will be fine.

what games do you want to play?

cheers guys

I was hoping to play WoW and some newers games on it but I'll hang off for a while and see what other deals I can find. I was offered it very cheaply by a mate who runs a well known computer store

wouldn't play it very well i dont think. hold off until you can afford a laptop with a dedicated card, or get a desktop if you dont need a laptop.
