    God i wish people on eBay would stop doing that. Combining the speed of the 2 cores into magic mega numbers which are nonsense..... -_-

    EDIT:

    Oh and the PC is junk btw. A gaming PC it isnt. Looks like a bunch of cheap budget parts to me.

    It's not unlikely. Read closer on the cpu and you find it's a Pentium D...

    NO this game will PROBABLY run UT 2004 on max and as adinus says it is equipped with the extremely inefficient/weak powerstation pentium d 3,4 Ghz.

    That deal is a **** if you ask me; old components, weak performance and 300£

    You can assemble yourself a e4300 with atix1950pro for about the same price and it would be at least 2x times faster...
