What games can my CPU run!!!

yeahhhhh my cpu is a dual core 3ghz right?

Your CPU is a dual core, but it's not like the newer dual core ones. It is lacking a lot of features of the newer ones. Below is a little info I found to help clarify. It is kind of dated, but will give you a better idea of where you stand.

One of Intel's first dual-core 64-bit Pentium CPUs. Introduced in 2005 along with the Pentium Processor Extreme Edition 840, they both share the Intel 64 64-bit technology, but the Pentium D does not include Hyper-Threading. The Pentium D's two execution cores provide two completely parallel processing streams.

The Pentium D 920 is two Pentium 4 620s put side-by-side under one metal heat spreader. The 530J will probably be roughly as fast as the D 920 in single-threaded tasks, if not edge it out by a hair. The D 920 will be faster than the 530J for multithreaded applications. The D 920 will be a little warmer than the 530J at full-load.The Core 2-based Pentium Dual Core and the Core 2 Duo are much faster than the P4 530J and PD 920. The 1.8 GHz Pentium Dual Core will outperform most every P4 and Pentium D out there, except for maybe the 3.60, 3.73, and 3.80 GHz units. It will do this while throwing off 2/3 to 1/2 as much heat as those chips as well. The Core 2 Duo E6550 is the fastest CPU on your list by quite a bit and isn't excessively expensive nor run much warmer than the Pentium Dual Core, so that's what I would spring for if you want to spend the money to get it, otherwise the Pentium Dual Core would be a good budget chip. Forget the Pentium 4 and Pentium D.

I just checked out the requirements and this is what I found:

Minimum System Requirements

* Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista

* 2.0+ GHZ Single Core Processor

* 512 Mbytes of System RAM

* NVIDIA 6200+ or ATI Radeon 9600+ Video Card

* 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space

Recommended System Requirements

* Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista

* 2.4+ GHZ Dual Core Processor

* 1 GBytes of System RAM

* NVIDIA 7800GTX+ or ATI x1300+ Video Card

* 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space

It looks like you're good to go!

thanks

I'd suggest you run "3DMark06" and see what that test runs for you. As long as your FPS don't drop below 20 FPS during that test, you should be able to run the games I listed at pretty good settings. Maybe not at the highest settings, but decent enough!

I have no idea about Borderlands, I haven't checked into that game.

Even my system is showing it's age with the newer games. With computers now a days, my system is at the bottom of the scale for a gaming computer. I can boost mine up there if I overclock it, but I don't like to overclock my hardware. It shortens its life span.

I like to build a new system about every 3 years, but usually do it when prices get cheaper.

I'll check out Borderlands and see what it's about and get back to you.
