I'm clueless on what's good and what's not, so would this PC give me a good performace on all the latest games?
My old PC was a 166mhz (1997) and as you can guess, I haven't been able to play games for about 3 years, thus losing touch with how games & PC's have progressed.
It's from Dell.
Here's the spec:-
December 87 intel pentium 4 processor 3.2ghz
Dimension 8300 3.2ghz 800FSB
512 MB (ram) DDR400 dual channel memory
3.5 floppy drive
120gb (7200rpm) 8mb cache IDE hard drive.
Sonic software for DVD/RW + R
8x/2.4 DVD+R/+RW and 16x DVD
18inch Ultra sharp performace flat panel midnight grey monitor
128mb ATI Radeon 9800 PRO graphics card
Creative labs Audigy2 audio card
multimedia kybd, SW DVD and AD995 speakers
How good is this? It's delivered to mine on the 5th Jan 04.
cheers...

You know it's good, you just came on to boast. But I have to admit, that is a REALLY good PC.
You'll definatly notice a HUGE improvement from your old 166 aswell, and the graphics card is pretty high end, allowing you to play nearly every game out with no problems :)
Yup, That system is quite high-end.
