Does this computer work well with games like crossword? My present 745 Optiplex will not take more than about 1/3rd of a game then freezes up!

I have not played any games on my computer, but it is fast and has worked well so far with basic Internet stuff.

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.

As long as the Optiplex has a low profile PCI-e slot. If this is the Optiplex Micro, then No, it will not work. The Micro is an all-in-one machine. Not much for upgrading on the Micro.

I bought a Pentium D 3.4 GHZ cpu for my computer. My computer is the Optoplex 520. It uses a 775 cpu also. It didn't work because the 3.2 and above are of a different Technology than the 775 2.8 and below. I downloaded the manuale for the Optiplex 775 computer and it says a Celleron or a VPRO cpu. I never heard of a VPRO model before. I"d take a pass on that CPU unless you get an email that says it will work.

Sorry I can't be too much help here but I'm not much of a gamer. I mainly used this computer for more business applications. I can tell you that I tried to use it (and another HP) for my DJ business and it performed horrible with the software. I couldn't get it to work right at all, it kept skipping on songs and randomly "popping" along with other problems. I was in a pinch one night at a birthday party and ended up using my wife's 300 dollar bottom of the line Gateway computer and it performed 100% better than this HP. I used to love HP but now I cannot recommend them. Hope this helps. Sorry I can't be too much help here but I'm not much of a gamer. I mainly used this computer for more business applications.

I have no experience with that game, however, the i7 microprocessor (this computer has 4 CPUs) is quite fast. I got a couple of Samsung 23" monitors, used @ $120 apiece (they worked/looked like "new"). These are DVI/VGA 1080p monitors that are a great leap ahead of the Dell VGA monitors I had. My cable installer told me he has seen every TV there is and Samsung has the best picture. I came to the same conclusion after comparing at least a dozen different brands at Costco. My CPU has 8G of memory. Would recommend upgrade to 16G of RAM. Your video card will have lots to do with this. You might upgrade the video card to 'state of the art.'

Hi DP yes the OptiPlex 260 is a little bit too old, probably you need to add memory that will help I bit more but not too much and if you look the OptiPlex 745 it will help more because this unit it's Pentium D3.4ghz with 2gb ram and 500gb hard drive it will be much better thank you

My OptiPlex 745 came with the 750 GB hard drive called for. Call the supplier before ordering to conform. One of the suppliers might be sending the wrong size. This is an older computer that has been upgraded. It is smaller then a standard computer and will need smaller size cards. I added a hmdi card to mine.

Hi Donald yes I will recommend OptiPlex 745 or 755 will work perfect XP-64bit and Microsoft we do not load any full version just I can send with "Free Office or Open Office" and it will have only word and excel all other Microsoft Office needs a license and you can get on line and you make payment once a year thank you

Hi John. This computer could be a decent gaming machine if you do the following. Add a 64 bit OS to it. Then add like 8GB of ram. Now your talking! However your card with an i5 or i7. Is insane dual core processors vs quad cores for gaming will produce a lot more frames per seconds. I hope that helped and sorry for the typos.

I have used this card in other Optiplex models with 1/2 height slots and Windows 7. No problems whatsoever. Your success, or lack of it, might have more to do with the device you are connecting than this card. The card seems to provide a standard LPT port for Windows but the other device driver may or may not work properly with it.

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.

Last machine I ran it on was a win7 republic of gamers laptop. It had to run in compatability mode, but I was able to play it (with minimal hicups, but some graphical degradation) I was using a beefy spec rig though, your mileage may vary. I havent tested it on windows 8/8.1

I have this computer and it can pretty much play anything you want, I haven't found a game yet that it can't run smoothly, hope this helps.
