I really want to play Fallout 3 on pc so I can enjoy the plethora of mods. Is my computer good enough/what will I need to do to make it good enough?
Windows Vista 64-bit
8GB DDR2 RAM
Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q8200
1TB Sata II Hard Drive
Nvidia GeForce 9300 512M
I know the hard drive is plenty, and the RAM too. For some reason though, my computer lags crazily on Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. I am a complete newbie when it comes to gaming on pc.
thanks

You should have no problems whatsoever running it with everything on the highest settings.

What's with the recent trend of threads about "Is my computer good enough" with people posting rigs built in the last year or two?

I wouldn't have asked, except I know essentially nothing about graphics cards.

As of late I've seen many people buy gaming computers (or rather, computers that happen to have decent gaming capabilities) without knowing anything about computers.MrPopo wrote:What's with the recent trend of threads about "Is my computer good enough" with people posting rigs built in the last year or two?
