Computer help

[sycles]

My friend has a computer with a 2.40 GHz processor. If he got a really really good video card, would he be able to play games like TDU and Need for Speed even with his low processor? His motherboard is the 02Y832 model. Also, what would the bus for this motherboard be?

depends. is it pentium 4, dual core? when you say low im guessing its not dual core.

I don't think so, but I'll have to check.

if it isn't a pentium 4, it will be unable to play TDU, but probably would be able to play games like need for speed underground 1 or 2. probably the most graphical it could cope with.

Just having a quick search on the internet for that motherboard dont bring up many searches. But from what i found out its quite an old board.

 

Could you give a better model number for the motherboard as it would be able to help me in search for the board. Then i will be able to help.

Seems like it's an old Dell, with a pentium 4. So you probably won't be able to play TDU on it very well, if at all.

And upgrading a dell is totally useless :(

Does his Proc have Hyperthreading? If yes it just could cut it. Barely. And like the others said, the GPU would probably bottleneck the system, and upgrading a Dell's like trying to, I don't know, impregnate Mr Brown?

[StrickenHAWK?]

He would be better off just to upgrade his whole pc, then he can enjoy virtually any games out and coming soon!

Yeah, I'm thinking then maybe he'll just get a whole new gaming computer. I didn't think he'd be able to play games with his current computer anyway. Thanks for all your help :)

I had an old Dell with a P4 3.2 Ghz with Hyperthreading enabled.

 

Wouldn't play TDU very well, even with the 8600GTS.

Strange thing is though, it played Gears of War perfectly???!

[StrickenHAWK?]

where does he state that?

The motherboard model. A quick search on Google shows that it's most probably a Dell.

My dad's computer has 2,4 GHz Intel + 3 GBs RAM + 128 MB nVidia card and I can play NFS Carbon and Most Wanted on 800x600 on max details without lagging. ;)

It is a Dell by the way.

Really? Maybe we'll try upgrading the computer then.
