Is that good enough to run BF2 at medium settings?

Thats probably the only game I will be playing.

Is this a good deal?

nope it's integrated video, you'll need to get a videocard for it.

The on-board video is going to be an issue. Everything else looks nice.

You might want a monitor too, but that could just be me 😛

Yeah, other than being a crappy prebuild compaq it should be fine with another $200 invested for the vid card. The onboard sound could leave a lot to be desired too. It's been a long time since I heard onboard sound though, so I suppose it could have improved a lot...

yuck, prebuilt. I won't ask, but quit being a sissy and build your own. 😉

All I saw for specs was 3 PCI slots and 1 available PCIe slot. Better check what PCIe slot that is. May not be able to even put a better gfx card in there.

other than you needing to buy a graphics card, it doesn't look bad. i pesonally don't like the 3500+ (why not get the 3200 or 3700?) but that's just me

Well can someone else recommend me a better retail?

I can only spend 800 for a system, this including moniter.

I require:

1 gig of ram of higher
200 gig hard drive or higher
AMD
Comes with OS


I dont care what retail I get, as long as it gets. I guess I could put it in a new videocard..is it easy? I dont want to break anything. IF I were to do that, it would have to fit in my budget. Moniter is going to be 272 bucks. (ITs Hyundai flat panel)

You can get the same computer cheaper if you buy direct from hp.com.
