Can this possibly run PR?(older rig)

Greetings and salutations :mrgreen: .

I've got an opportunity to use a newer* computer to replace aging pile of transistors that is my word processor. Being primarily a console gamer (no comments please) I've only really used PCs for PR and the odd steam game here or there. This computer doesn't need to run Crysis on ultra so I'm wondering if it can just manage PR on mid at least with above 30ish fps. I clearly haven't been spoiled by high fps :roll: . Without further a do.

OS: Win 7
CPU: AMD Phenom 9600b (a quad core)
Mobo: N68SA-M25 (I think, hard to find info on it)
RAM: 4gb ddr2?
GPU: Nvidia Geforce 210
HDD: Forgot to ask

I can certainly find out more but these are the essentials I believe. I already have my copy of bf2 and all external hardware(monitor keyboard etc.) I hope there's good news because I really want to get back into PR. I miss her having been gone since 1.0 :cry:

Thanks in advance

I don't know about the other specs, but I am pretty sure that a gt210 will not play Pr fine, I'd look for a slightly better one as I hear PR is graphically intensive.

Its a free computer so would it be worth a try? I know the 210 isn't the best at all but I have an older card (an 8500gt iirc) that probably wouldn't work either. Are there alternatives good for PR though?

If by alternatives you mean video cards, then I have no clue, atleast for PR.

I think your CPU is going to be able to run it, just not your GPU. I have a GT610 (which I believe is just like a 210 but newer, and a little better), and run the game at 30 fps at my best times, 20-25fps average.

Try the game is all I have to say, and see if it runs fine for you.
