    I strongly suggest you upgrade to the Dual Core processor. It may cost a little more but once you've had dual core - you'll never want to drop one again!

    It'll play anything you want it to play. The only thing is the newest stuff will play on lowish-medium settings, few months ago to a year or so ago stuff will play on mediumish, older stuff with play on high.

    I too recomend the dual core processor. Its a very worthwile investment.
