Is this computer fast enough to play games on Facebook? What would I need to purchase in addition to have WiFi, Modem I have is not wireless.

You can play most FB games, it has a wireless nic as well as a wires built in. No camera whatever system you have at home, just add a wireless router, Linksys is my choice, but do the research. High price does not mean high value or user friendly. The D620 was used for a lot of office programs so it was built with a lot of resources.Hope this helps,Good Luck

WiFi is built in and it is fast enough for quite a variety of games. It is my son's computer and he plays a lot on it.

This is good computer for light computing. Facebook games will probably be fine. I have found this is the best value for a good computer.

This is a good computer and facebook games do not demand much from a PC from a technical stand point, so technically, a cheaper $300 netbook will do the trick there. If you want actual gaming (Counter Strike, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, F.E.A.R. ETC) then you need a different PC since this one has very limited upgrades due to it's small/compact size. If you need a strong Notebook/Laptop for gaming, go with a 15" alienware/dell or a 15' HP

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.

why would you even ask this? it's a "retro" version of an old school game gear. not everything needs facebook or wifi lol

It's a great little machine, but it is NOT gamer capable. That's totally not the market this is focused at - think of this thing as a modern "netbook". It's fine for browsing the web and general "office" apps, but you aren't going to want to run anything beyond web-based games on it.

I would count on it to run CS:GO so so but BF and COD is doubtful, especially BF. I bought this for my girl that just likes to surf the net and do Facebook stuff. I wouldn't spend the money on this for gaming. You would need something beefier with better cpu and graphics. I have a PC I built specifically for gaming so I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable about this topic.

You may want something a little faster. This is really a budget computer. I don't know the hardware requirements for Sims 3. Online course might be OK.

This helps a lot. However, there is still the question about the functionality. Is it worth the price to surf and play games versus a few more dollars and getting an inexpensive laptop. Maybe by the time software comes out to support this device it will be worth it.

Based on other customer reviews, I would say no- it does not contain enough Internet for todays most common needs. I would suggest upgrading to something faster- a 9600 baud modem would be good, though a 14,400 would really give you a big boost.

PC is pretty fast. Web surfing will only be as fast as your router if you go wireless. Windows 8 takes getting used to. If you like gaming you might want more RAM.

yes it will handle facebook and any other task you wish, but it will all depend on how fast your internet service is.. for my kids i have wireless wifi from my home office to the kids computers and they have no problems on fast service from the internet.. again it depends on the speed of your internet provider but as far as the computer goes they work great for the kids school work and surfing the web.. i have 2 computers and only issue i have with one is that it wont download pictures with a usb cable from camera into computer but other than that there great..

I'm not sure. Sorry. I looked for this thing with the intent to play online games and watch YouTube and Facebook. So I'd keep looking. Happy thanksgiving.

This is impossible to answer. Which game??? What settings? This has a 1.3ghz processor x2 so it is not a state of the art laptop. It is meant to be a mobile gaming PC, not a desktop replacement. It will lag in most of the higher end games. Also, is the lag from an online game or from graphics?

Yes, I run it off of a Belkin WiFi router and it works great. It's a desktop but I can move it anywhere, since my internet is all WiFi. I bought a new Asus computer back in Dec. with all of the speed and memory you could want. Down side, Windows 8. I got so fed up with it I got the Mac. Still have allot to learn but it's much more user friendly then 8. Check with a Mac dealer to be sure but the new Lion OS system seems to work.

My guy has played Starcraft on it and says it runs slower/the graphics were better on his old gaming computer, but he added a graphics card and it runs smoothly now. But no, I would not recommend this computer for gaming as is.

I use it for games on games.com and facebook. I love this notebook. nicer than my Dell by a mile.

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.
