Answer 1

Cannot say the worst but also cannot say the best.

Your Operating system is okay supported for games.

Processor is good

RAM is not bad but 2GB would be good.

You didnt mentioned your display memory but onboard graphics are usually 256 MB.



You can run games like:

1. Need for Speed Most wanted 2005

2. Counter strike 1.6

3. Age of Empires 3

4. Rise of nations

5. Grand Theft Auto: SanAndreas

6. Bully: Scholarship Edition (Awesome game)



If you have 512 MB of graphics you could run some higher games like

1.Grand Theft Auto: IV

2. Need for Speed: Most Wanted 2012

3. Grid 2

4. Counter Strike: Source



Hope, It helps

Answer 2

Doesn't specify what graphics card is installed which is going to count for more than anything else when it comes to gaming. The amount of memory in that system is pretty low that might be an issue. Memory for that board is probably gonna cost next to nothing online. 4GB would make a big difference id think. The processor itself isn't really exceptional but should be alright to run most games maybe at a little cost in visual quality. Regardless of the age of the parts its still 2 cores at 2.4Ghz. My mainboard is 7 years old and runs everything in full graphics flawlessly.

Answer 3

The graphics unit is not stated.For most games(excluding minecraft)you will need a decent video card.However,from the look of what you have provided I am sorry to say yes it will be bad for gaming.

Answer 4

For games yes it is beyond bad. This is ten year old hardware so of course it's not going to work.

Answer 5

absolutely bad!
