Go to the game publisher's website & validate that inquiry.

Poor choice for a gaming PC. The main problem is it's a small form factor unit with weak integrated video. There is an AGP slot for upgrading, but you MUST use a low profile video card & that will seriously limit your choices. Also, high powered gaming cards need a decent power supply & I highly doubt that PC has one...& upgrading it will be difficult due to the small form factor case.

looking over ur spec p4 2.26 + 1gb...maybe u can play games like nfs carbon,counter strike,& some other games,1gb might not work on bf2 & bf2142,ghost recon 2 is a mess on p4...like jam said 'small form factor unit' can overheat due to that small cpu cooler

U just bought this pc right, try returning this pc and get a gaming pc...if u have the money to burn =P ...
