hey people,
will this conifguration support any high end games, if yes then suggest some games and if not suggest upgrades

PROCESSOR : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 ghz
RAM : 3 GB DDR2
GRAPICS CARD: ati radeon hd 2600 xt

also on what basis are graphics cards compared?

You should upgrade to a GT240 or HD4850. BTW, what's your budget for a gfx card upgrade ?

Thanks man!
First will try at default clock, if performance is not acceptable then I would overclock the CPU. hope I don't fry it in process:p

Do you have any 3rd party after market cpu cooler or using the stock one ?

It it's stock then you can safely OC it to 2.8Ghz but as It's winter you will be within safe limit upto 3 GHz. But anything above that requires more voltage so you should get a after market cpu cooler like CM hy[er TX3 or Hyper 212 like me :p

A Core2Duo 2.4 Ghz...

Thanks for informing :p

You will be able to play most game at high settings with your screens native resolution.
Though Crysis may lag if you set it to ultra high :p

OMG still lag? WTH! :(

Anyway, not a big Crysis fan. I like strategy and RPG games the most. I can't wait to get that system...clock, please move faster! Then I have to go there, make final decision, get it assembled, come back home, install the OS, install the utilities and only then will I be able to play.

Will post here how my gaming goes :)

I just bought a Biostar TA790GXBE (onboard HD 3300) & an Athlon X2 245 (2.9 Ghz) with 1GB RAM. It runs the crysis demo at 1024 x 768 with low graphics. How can I measure the fps of the game? Will this run crysis at medium graphics if I increase the RAM to 3 GB with windows 7? Also my system recognizes only 768 MB RAM, where is the rest of the RAM?

You can measure the FPS of games using the frogram called FRAPS. Google it, download it and run it. It is a must have for any gamer.

You can have 10GB of RAM and I don't think you would be able to run Crysis at medium settings. You need a good graphics card for that. Even I can't run that game at Ultra high settings and have to be satisfied with high. It is still gorgeous, though.

You were right about that topgear. My respect for you has significantly increased, and it was already substantial :)

Thanks buddy :p

BTW, he can have 16GB of ram max but crysis will be still unplaable at medium settings:p

Anyway, if he wants to gaming on windws 7 you should upgrade to 2x 2GB or atleast 3GB as most of the games will lag on win7 with only 1GB ram and yeah to enjoy crysis he should buy a gfx card like 9600GT or HD4670

@ Rajdeep Banik - you are using onboard gfx, right ?? Your bios is sharing 256MB ram for gfx from your system ram so you are seeing only 768MB of ram.

Thanks for the advices. I measured the fps; it was just 15 fps at maximum & 11 at minimum, :oops: though I still enjoy playing it. Now, planning for a RAM upgrade only

15 FPS is too less - it might give you a headache, for one. Also, you will never be able to play as well as someone who has 60-100 FPS. You must have really good eyes - I am not happy with even 30FPS.

Yup, 15 FPS is to much less. Wondering how he will manage the situation in Crysis when got into those levels where enimies and allens will be on all sides.!! :p

Can someone recommend a game for me ? p4 3.0 Ghz, 512 Ram, 7600GS. It can run Assasin's Creed, Though I'm not sure if you'd count waiting 30 minutes for a level load, more for the larger ones "running".
It ran Far Cry, Quake 3, Most Wanted and Carbon pretty easily with everything turned off- any interesting titles?
