    i've just ordered a pc from dell not for the purposes of playing games but just wondered if this pc could handle newer pc games eg batman arkham asylum

    Dell Studio 540mt....intel® Core™ 2 Quad-Core Q8300 Processor (2.5GHz, 4MB cache, 1333MHz FSB)
    4096MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [4x1024]
    1TB (7200rpm) SATA Hard Drive
    nVidia GeForce GT220 1024MB graphics card

    thanks

    yeah that could probably run Mrs. Pacman.

    wtf are you doing buying a PC "not for games" that has a GT220 in it?

    For demanding graphics programs such as CAD or heavy film editing / animation or whatever... OR maybe he just choose all the best upgrades available:P

    Anyway, yes it's perfect for gaming, will run most new games at full whack.. depending on the game obviously!
    Yes, mine sweep for sure will run at full whack!
    Apart from that game... Nothing else.
    Gt220 are in range with the 9500GT to 9600GT
    So, 1024 resolution, would be ok in medium settings in new games (maybe) but no high settings or high resolution.

    Just as a matter of interest, how much you paying for this?

    I'm guessing 600 - 750 euro? Comparable system on sales this Sunday in case you're interested http://aldi.ie/ie/html/offers/2827_10572.htm
