Is my lovely PC enough to run games?

Twisted Scorpio · 08-05-2012, 07:24 AM #1

My father bought this computer some time ago in 2009, it's the best computer I ever had, I actually play all games I want to play.

I can run them with mostly everything High/Very High including 4X AA and 16X Ansitriopic(?).

Anyway, I'm wondering if this PC will be enough to emulate Super Smash Bros Melee / Brawl with playability.

Specs;

Proc: AMD Athlon 64 x 2 6000+ (3.11 Ghz)
VGA: NVIDIA GT240 DDR3 (25 GB/s Bandwidth)
Motherboard: MSI MCP6P-M2+
Memory: 3GB DDR2 667 Mhz
HDD: 500 GB 7200 RPM
Monitor: 17' 1248x1024 (60 Hz)

No. Your cpu is far to old.

I agree.

If you can afford: Get a whole new PC (with Intel CPU)

It's lovely to me Heart

New computers are expensive, terrible... Should I get an AMD Phenom x4 9650 ?.

Edit:

I get 45 FPS in Super Smash Bros Brawl (PAL Version) only in 2 player mode, 3 player mode is 35 fps and sometimes less.

In Super Smash Bros Melee I'm getting 30~40 fps in 2 player mode (NTSC Version).

No. That wouldn't improve your performance at all.

You need something a lot better than that.

Where on earth are you finding these 4-5 year old cpus?

It's weak. Some games might work though. Which games are you planning to play?

weak for gamecube or wii?

Gamecube: Mario games and fighting games
WII: i think the same

what do you recomend ?

We recommend that you don't use this emulator with that PC unless you like to play games at half the speed they were intended to be played at.
