In acme's chair.
What kind of games can i expect to play and at what settings?
(on either 1920x1080 or 1280x720)

Specs are:

Intel Pentium D @ 3.00GHz
2GB DDR2 533MHz
ATI Radeon X1950 Pro Extreme (512MB GDDR3)
250GB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM w' Windows 7 Home Premium x64
 
What games do you want to play?

I dont really, not on that rig at least... But i'll throw you a few titles to play with:

Minecraft :p (i would expect to max it)

Half Life 2 (i would expect to max it)

Left for Dead 2 (i would expect to play on high/medium)

Modern Warfare 2 (i would expect to play on medium/low)

Crysis 2 (i would expect to play on low)

Battlefield 3 (i would expect you to laugh at the very idea of BF3 running on this rig)
 
There is a video of someone playing Crysis 2 on High settings with an X1950 Pro, a pentium dual core 2.93GHz and 2GB of 1066MHz DDR2.

Those specs are higher, but not by miles.

Theres vids of one of those cards (in AGP form) paired with 2gb DDR1 and a p4 playing GTA-IV so please give me some more constructive answers... :p

I have almost that exact setup, though it is my backup PC which lives in the attic. That would have been top spec back in 2005 but unfortunately seven years have now passed.

Should be ok for FarCry and possibly Half Life 2 on medium settings (which is what I used it for).
 
I have that rig in the cupboard, but with no GPU... theres is an x1950 pro xtreme for sale on a popular auction site for £14 :p
