What Games would i be able to run with these specs:
- Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic with Service Pack 1 (32-bit)
- AMD Athlon(TM) LE1660 [2.8GHz]
- 3GB DDR2-800MHz SDRAM [1x2048,1x1024]
- 250GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive
- 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 9300 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter]
- LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive
Let's turn it around...what games do you want to be able to play?
There are probably thousands of games that can be played with those specs, but some of the hottest titles will not be able to be played at much more than medium (and for some titles even low is stretching things). Your biggest drawback is the rather anemic video card in there.

hey tainted maybe you may want to check out this site for additional info

if you can change your processor into an AMD X2 and your video card to at least 9500GT above im sure itll last longer better. also if you can find a motherboard which supports up to Phenom 2 processors, that would be much better so that you can more room for upgrades in the future.
oh btw im like an intel user though, but i would love to try and AMD setup soon :)
