[QUOTE="Padawan, post: 43870, member: 273"] Well, I'm not much of a computer gamer (I use my game consoles for that), so I'm not positive just what Myst will require. However, I'd imagine that you'll be able to play it on your system. There are a few upgrades that should help out and shouldn't cost too much. First, I'd probably upgrade the video card, if you haven't already. I think that will be the real limiting factor when trying to play newer games. The new cards are faster and have more video RAM, which should make a big difference with games. Next, you may want to invest in a bit more system memory, although your specs indicate that you have quite a bit already. Every little bit helps, especially when running both OS's simultaneously. Both of these upgrades should be relatively inexpensive, but if you find that you're still not satisfied with the machine's performance, you can upgrade the processors. Keep in mind that processor upgrades aren't cheap though, so you might want to do some research and shop around (I've found many good deals on eBay that have saved me a great deal of money). Either way, I definitely don't think you have to give up on your machine just yet. ;) [/QUOTE]
