This computer should be lightning fast compared to my old XP Pentium 3 set up; have tried a lot of things but nothing helps. I am not a gamer

Mine is also not as fast as I expected. I have been told, but I'm not sure that it is true, that the touch screen feature slows it down some. Sorry I can't offer you any solutions. Hopefully someone else may have some suggestions. Even though mine is not as fast as expected, I am very satisfied with it's overall performance.

It is a total piece of garbage. They won't help you when you call they will offer you to buy fix it disc for an additional $29.99 which will come in the mail so you're without your computer while you wait for that to arrive. I returned mine and bought an HP Pavilion. Thanks to Amazon they made it easy to return. Get rid of it! I'm not a gamer either! I'm a teacher who doesn't have time for baloney. The Acer and its people are baloney!!

Yeah should be able to run easy, mines an i7 3770 and only 8gb ram and it runs perfectly.

I use this computer for my business. I am not a gamer and I am not familiar with the programs you mention. The computer is quite fast the way I use it and I am very pleased with it.

I replaced this with a graphics card with much less RAM (256mb), which made it faster. It depends on what software you are using on whether the increased speed allows for a better graphics setting.

I upgraded mine with: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit, Pentium D 945 (BIOS A11), 4GB DDR2 533MHz RAM (Max), Intel Solid-state drive, SATA3 Port Card, GTX 650 Ti Boosted 2GB Graphics Card, and a 450W Power Supply. All of that coupled with Ethernet connection and this computer has smoothly ran any game I have thrown at it with the settings maxed out! It's awesome. I don't know if this helps for your question.

It supports the DDR3 Ram at 1333mhz, so it will not run this at full potential but it will run. The comp supports 16 gig, so it should have 4 slots, chances are you can keep the memory you have and add this, just make sure the memory pairs are slot 1 & 3 and slot 2 & 4. You'll also need to be running a 64 bit OS or it will only see 3 gigs of ram.

The games were designed with XP in mind. Maybe try running in XP compatibility mode. It seems a stretch, but also make sure you laptop is graphically powerful enough to run it, although my ancient 5 year old Win 7 box runs it perfectly fine.

My new machine is called an XPS15 model 9530 (is that what you are looking at?) It has CPU i7-4702HQ at 2.20 GHz. Display max resolution is 3200x1800; I found app setup easier if I config the resolution to standard HD (1920x1080). Looks good like that as well.

I can only tell you that I found this computer to be very slow. I don't know much about gaming, but I understand that games require "Fast" processors. I hope this helps.

Not sure ....processor is to slow...I wounldnt waste the $....guessI got what I paid for :( ...hope you got a better deal

You need PCI-E for this. If you only have PCI or AGP then it's most likely too old for gaming anyway as your CPU won't cope

It's fast, but if you are looking at it for gaming, probably not the best processor. I don't know the exact CPU speed or MIPS.

Not sure what your processor or memory capability is but I used an 8800GT video board and the game worked fine. Game play is above average to good.

The processor (2.4 Gz Intel Core 2 Duo) is über fast. You can upgrade the memory to 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, maybe even to 6 GB. Very fast!

EZ Drummer 2 just came out recently, and Windows XP is a legacy product, these new plugins are pretty hefty, so I would seriously think about getting yourself a newer system with a Quad Core processor or you could be looking at serious underun....(pops & clicks) I own Superior 2.0 and it is very demanding!

It depends on the RAM chipsets supported by your processor(core 2 duo/P4/i3/i5). Search about it online and i guess u will get better and faster (better frequency) options than this one. I had an old system so bought this as my only option.

I have mine setup to run like 7. Just download a free start menu button and have the comp boot to desktop instead of tiles.
