How do you find out what your pc's processing power is?

I want to buy the Alan Wake bundle from steam but I'm not sure if my pc meets the minimum requirements. I don't meet the minimum requirement for GTA4, found that out the hard way ¬_¬

Open start menu and type in box: dxdiag

Open it when it comes up.

Post the line "Processor" and "Memory" from the "System" tab and "Device"'s "Name" from "Display" tab.



Adults need not be embarrassed of asking questions.

For a much easier method of doing this, just use this website:

You may have to switch browsers a little. It only works with (ugh) IE for me.

The graphics is extremely weak, you won't be able to run any recent 3D games.

I'm no expert, but I think you will really struggle with that for anything hungry for power.

Yes, I was told that when I innitially bought the machine. When I did I had no intention of using it for games, just MSOffice and internet but alas...¬_¬

You can play Borderlands? On minimum settings or higher?

Maybe you have a graphics card in your system in addition to the G41?

I would say minimum setting, I can also play Civ 5, Audiosurf on mid settings game still looks beautiful. I can play it on highest but only for a few mins. I can play quite a few games usually on low(est) settings.
