Answer 1

Sorry, it can't =(. It looks like you definitely care about playing because of the time you took writing this detailed answer. You can get a new video card and processor to play it =).

Answer 2

Well when you say "computer games" I assumed you meant computer/online games. But not being the owner of an Xbox 360 (which really sucks). I don't know if you have one, but I have a Wii and would like to recommend a few of my favorites. Wii: Super Smash Bros Brawl Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn (has a good story + in games videos have great graphics) Zelda: Twilight Princess Ps2: Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 Xbox 360 (games i have played at a friends house): Dragon Age origins Borderlands Assassin's Creed 2 Left 4 Dead 1 and 2

Answer 3

u will definitely be able to play them, but not on high graphics settings, a new video card would probably help

Answer 4

Only barely. You only just satisfy the minimum requirements but fall under the recommended specifications.
