What is the clock speed. Assuming that it's faster than 2.0Ghz yes. The minimum specs for these games I believe is 256MB of ram. Give me more info about the rig you are going to use to run this software.

most intel celeron have good clock speeds, the 1 i looked at has 3.06ghz i think, but i worry mostly that the games cannot not run in an intel celeron d. it has 512mb ram and about 160gb.

what video card?

4200+ is ok bro, But to be perfectly honest i would forget about upgrading until you have the money to purchase 4600+ or above and at least a 7900gt. Games like UT2007 and Crysis are going to be very high high requirements. I don't think a 4200+ (depends on what video card) if you have a 7900gt if should work but a 6800gt or lower will give you trouble. Same with a 7600gt. I would recommend if you want to upgrade now. So you will be able to play games for the next 2 years at the most. Go with a 4600+, 7900gt, 200gb harddrive, 2 gigs of ram, and a 550w power supply.

just like det said. Celeron is not friendly to many games nowadays. Like Q4, D3, CSS, will not run on a celeron processor.

i don't care how fast the clock speed is on a celeron... celerons are aout 1/4 th the speed of a pentium or athlon. say you're standing in line at mcdonalds and u got 1 person going fast(3.06 ghz celeron) in a long line at the cash register yet you have another burger king with 4 people at the cash register going a little bit slower( 2 ghz pentium), which fast food restaurant will have faster service. get my drift? there are 4 pipelines pumping though a pentium all at the same speed while only 1 for a celeron. gg

x700 is a waste dude. Go with a 7600gt or something or other.
