Its an 9400 i believe. As far as gaming, well it really depends on the game. Its an atom processor, so you can check on-line for other computers with the atom and if it works fine on other systems, then it should be fine on this one. Everyone that ive talk to says win 7 will work fine. You will need an external CD drive. 1.6GH is a good speed for most applications. But anything that requires a power house for a computer, this will not work. Its made for simple day to day activitys or a workstation. A lot of people are using the HDMI out to use it as a media computer. linuxMCE is a good example, XBMC, or the win7 Media Center. Its an 9400 i believe.

9400 That is a high score are you shur that is right. or unless vista is to much and Xp is better.

he meant that it was an nvidia 9400 - the graphics card model, not the windows vista "rating"

as far as drivers. can you download them. like DX 10 or 9. or do you have to buy a new graphics card. when i put vista on it. not the upgrade version. but the OS on the hard drive. i took out the XP drive, and put in Vista. and the ratting for games are 1.0 is the XP better

I am sorry John but I don't play games on this computer. It does seem faster than any other I have had that games were played on.

Excellent ... My son uses this computer for games (as well as school:) and the graphics are fabulous!!

I don't personally play games, but as I understand it, playing games requires a fast response time. You would not get such a response with this computer - at least I know mine would not provide the needed speed. I have been very dissatisfied with it overall.

Hello Curt,Seeing this version of Microsoft Flight Simulator is an "older" version, it should have no problem running on Windows Vista. It will also run on the now non-supported Windows XP platform. I am using Windows 8.1 and have had no problems with this program, with the exceptions mentioned in my review of this software. Happy Flying!! David W. Long

I have ran older games on it. For example, command and conquer 3, command and conquer generals, command and conquer red strike, star wars the old republic, dead space 2, left for dead 2, star trek dac, and a few others. As for newer games, I do not know how good the pc will play them. Overall, its a nice pc. I have not had any troubles as of yet. Hope this helps.

Probably, it runs on XP. It needs speed for all the graphics. Processor and video card. Runs fine on my hopped up old XP machine. The new edition basically needs a high end gaming machine. Cool but not needed. MS generally runs somewhat old programs well, sometimes better. I am not an IT person.

Yes its great, I have Flight Simulator X. It works good on this computer. Better than I thought it would.

This computer is fast and also isn't that good for gaming. The graphics card is kind of crappy. Depending upon what type of hard drive you have . . . You could open up the case and plug in your old hard drive. OR you could transfer it through your network. . . Google would have detailed instructions as well.

I would not know, I only use this computer to help my children with home work and personal work but not for gaming. It is a pretty fast computer and I have not had any problems playing games from face book.

Right now, I'm playing Witcher 2 on 1366x768 resolution and most of the other settings on medium or high, with no lag and no trouble whatsoever. Also, I played Crysis 1 also on 1366x768 with no trouble either. As for as gaming computers, I have to say that right now I do use an Xbox gamepad with all of my games. IF you use the mousepad on the computer, you might have trouble because the left and right click are sensitive to touch and built into the touch pad. If you do use a mouse, I recommend getting a usb external mouse. As far as what games this PC will play, I don't think you'll have any problem with graphics or fps. Great gaming computer.

My guess is the Toshiba does not meet the minimum requirements to run the game. If it's a laptop make sure the air vents are not blocked. If it's a desktop and it's just basic Toshiba then it probably does not have a graphics card and won't be able to run the game. This game is highly detailed. You could go to settings and turn down all details to minimum and that may make it better but probably won't look that good.

It can play both of those games smoothly at their highest settings. It can play even more new and graphically intense games at high settings like Arma 3 for example. This computers specs will be able to play any game out right now and for the foreseeable future.

It depends of the cpu, vga and ram of your computer. Check the minimum requeriments of the game and compare them with your machine.

This a very, very, very, slow computer. I seriously doubt that you could play any game on it. I only bought it for windows 7 operating system so the I could continue to use my dedicated photo printer.

well.. after you asked.. I looked for one. there isn't one here lol so i'm thinking it is part of the motherboard.. not too good . However my lovely wife uses it for pinterest and fb.. so i'm ok sorry but I have a different computer, I went with the dell xps. it's a little more but i can do the upgrades I needed for gaming. :) If you want to use it internet , the hard drive is pretty fast and the graphics look " ok " for that purpose..but I wouldn't recommend for gaming. You can however simply add a graphics card and turn the one on the mb off

Every time a new operating system comes out, it requires a more powerful CPU and a lot more ram. It might run windows 7. I hate windows 8,and windows Vista was terrible. It will be slow with games. I do not really know. dshollismd
