computer processor question.

[Zareth]

oh hai, I have a raedeon 4870 Toxic (Sapphire Tech), 4 gigs of DDR2 RAM, and a bunch of shit, but my main problem is, how good is my processor. I just want to know how this thing can handle something like Far Cry 2 and Call of Duty 5. (Its on the way as a note, not here yet.) but was this a good buy for the price, being only 100 dollars.

I really do not know how this is. All I know is, it was cheap, on sale, and looked okay for gaming. But it would be nice if someone who knows about computers more than I do could tell me if its worth the buy :3

I got an X2 5000+, and I can run Crysis at High + some DX10 only fetures (sunshafts, POM, ocean ttl)

So I guess your processor is a "bit" better than mine. So I'd say it's good

i'm more of an intel fan, personally, but this seems like a worthwhile chip at that price.

yea, that Processor should have no problem handling those two games. your only problem is that it's only dual core.
The card is fine, however the memory on it might be a problem.
The last problem is RAM, not sure what OS you're running, xp is alright, vista will suck up like a champ, i'd suggest moving up to 64x if you get the chance. The next few years they're gonna start making more and more things for 64x.

I can personally recommend the second processor listed, as well. (:
