It should be a powerful gaming machine, playing most games at med-high.

 

Those games should all run high I think, how old are they?

 

command and conquer 3 isnt out yet and i think age of empires is like a year old

This should tell how well the Z96j and the X1600 can game.

You should be able to run some of those games at native resolution and or WXGA resolution with max settings, the games will look good.
