What will this system run?


Question:
I have a computer i will have finished ina few days. I was wondering if it will run games like BF2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and CNC3: Tiberium Wars. The system is:

Intel Pentium D 2.66GHz processor
1GB Dual Channel (2x 512MB)
Enough HD Space
ATI Radeon X1550
Windows XP Pro w/ SP2

Thanks!

Answer:
As one said, double the memory to 2gb of ram, and get a much better video card. The x1550 really is (more or less) a x1300 (little different specs.about the same speed or a little faster). In this benchmark:

it's barely able to play BF2 at 1024 by 768 with a extremely high-end cpu, so yours will perform worse. You really want 30fps or better to be playable. As one suggested, get a better video card for gaming. The chart above help help with that choice. I went for the 8800 GTS myself.
well, it'll run those games, but not at a playable speed. to make it better, double the RAM and get a better video card (definitely needed for C&C:3), perferably something in the Nvidia 7600 series or higher or ATI 1900 series or higher.

The X1550 is nothing more than a rebadged X1300, which is considered an entry level card by ATI.
yes, it will run
Products based on ATI Radeon X1550 graphics technology are an excellent complement to Microsoft’s new 3D based operating system, allowing you to get more enjoyment out of movies, games, and digital photos.
Yes it will, good processor decent i mean DECENT graphic card.
