Is this a good computer for web surfing and online gaming?

Q. Processor: 2.8GHz Intel Core i5
Apple Imac 27 inch 2010 version
Memory: 4GB
Storage: 1TB hard drive
Optical Drive: DVD±RW

Monitor: 27-inch integrated LCD (2,560x1,440 native resolution)
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1GB)
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
my main focus is online gaming. specifically the game Combat Arms.

A. Lol, these guys don't know what they're saying. Your rig is fine. 4gb is more than enough to play every game that's out there today and Random access memory (RAM) is not THAT important. Your CPU and GPU both need to be good and the ones you have are fine. You can web surf on a calculator these days, don't worry about that. Online games like COD mw2 and Battlefield BC2 would run just fine if you had these specs on a PC. Macs aren't for gaming so if you havent bought it yet, don't. Don't be surprised if that in 2 years time, you wont be able to handle the newest games because technology moves fast and unfortunately, you have to move with it.

what are cool computer online games?

Q. I would like to now some cool computer online games like dead frontier combat arms or vindictus.

A. It sounds like you're a FPS fan, so my all-time fav for computer is Battlefield 2142. It's kinda outdated graphics wise, but it's still pretty cool. It's main focus is vehicles, and it's strictly online. There isn't any campaign, but the gameplay ROCKS. My favorite game mode is called Titan. There are too HUGE gunships in the air that have shields and a hull. There are three ways to destroy the enemy ship. You can capture control points on the ground, which, when in your teams control, can fire missles every 3 minutes at the enemy ship. 2, you can take a smaller gunship from your teams Titan and confront the enemy Titan. Or, once you've destroyed the enemy Titan's shield, you can take the battle inside their Titan. If you manage to battle your way through your enemies defences, you can destroy the enemy titan from the inside by attacking it's reactor. Then, once it's blowing up, you have 30 seconds to escape the Titan. Vehicles include Walkers, Jeeps (very similar to Halo's Warthog), Armed Transports (with escape pods used to launch yourself onto the enemy Titan), Tanks, and Hover Tanks, There are also Transport Gunships (also with escape pods) and Attack Gunships. When you begin the game, there are only 4 kits (Assault, Support, Recon, and Engineer.) Each contain a primary weapon and a pistol, except for the Engineer class, which contains a Rocket Launcher and a SMG. As you level up (you get a point for each kill, capture, or 1 for every 2 assists) you get to choose upgrades for your kits. Upgrades are an assortment of weapons and equipment. One of my favorite things about the game is the price- a one time fee of $15 off of eastore.ea.com (as long as you get the downloaded version, if you get the disc based version you'll have to pay shipping as well. (obviously XD) hope your= try this came out. If so, add me, my user is Nero256.

what are the best computer/online games?

Q. I want to start playing more games but i don't know what's good. I just finished playing Mad Father (RPG game) and I also like Battlefield, Sims 3, Diner Dash, COD, RPG games, Heavy Rain, and The Last of Us. Pretty much the main thing i look for is a good storyline and the graphics but if it's just a simple game that's good too. What are some good computer/online games????

A. The Witcher 1 & 2 are quest based games with monsters fighting in them.

The Darksiders series are great and now is a great time to start as they are releasing 3 next year some time.

Being a girl you may be attracted to Laura Croft or Tomb Raider series, I am a guy and thought the last one was fantastic.

Just Cause 2 is a game I like when I just want to blow of steam, it is mostly just blowing stuff up and shooting people, not much of a story line though.

I personally really like playing the Metro Series, Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light Kind of hard to describe you may want to go to youtube and look them up, basically they are post apocalyptic survival
horror games set it ruined Russia.

I know a lot of girls (And guys) enjoy the Portal Series you may want to look those up and if you do get them prepare to think.

I hope this helps, have fun with whatever you get.

How do I stop lagging like crazy from my tenant downloading stuff?

Q. I share the internet with some people renting out my basement, and they're ALWAYS torrenting stuff. Is there a way to make it have less effect on my computer and online gaming? I don't exactly want to shut off their internet entirely, but is there a way to do that too? Thanks.

A. Yes, but it might cost you. What you are looking for is a feature that some routers have called Quality of Service (referred to as QoS).

Without QoS, all network traffic from all computers is treated equally. Torrenting will indeed be a massive drain on your network since it will try to use up every bit of bandwidth available.

With QoS, the router looks at all the network traffic and decides what gets higher priority.

If you've got a good level of computer knowledge, you can set these rules up manually in your router, directing it to give your computer and gaming system priority over your tenants' computers.

A much easier solution, which will probably solve your problem, is to let the router automatically decide what gets priority. If your router has QoS and Automatic Classification, it has built in rules to make sure things like streaming video, VOIP, and online gaming are highest priority which always go through first, web browsing second, and torrent downloads get whatever is left over. I think this will probably be the best and easiest option.

You'll have to log in to your router and see if it supports QoS and Automatic Classification. If it doesn't, it may be worth spending a little money to replace it with one that does. For less than the cost of two PS3 games, you can actually use your computer and gaming system. A very well liked and well reviewed router that I know supports QoS and Automatic Classification is the D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Wireless Router. I've used it personally, and it performs very well. You might be able to pick one up at your local computer store. If not, I know Amazon sells this model for $90 and free shipping:

What is the Best Computer For playing Online games?

Q. Hello everyone i just need to know what is the best computer to play online game like World of Warcraft and perfect world i'm saving up for new computer. :)

A. There are two good computers out there right now that I would buy, the intel i5-2500k and the i7-2600k. If you want to save some money, any quad-core processor with a suitable GPU could easily run the game at 80fps+. So here is an budget setup for WoW:

Any Quad-Core processor
2 or 4 GB of RAM
320-500 GB Hard Drive
Radeon HD 5000 series+

Here is a setup that will last much longer and allow you to play games like Battlefield 3 and MW3:

i5-2500k
4 or 8 GB of RAM
500 - 1000 GB Hard Drive
Radeon HD 6870

Here is an really, really, good build:

i7-2600k
8 GB of RAM
1 TB Hard Drive
Radeon HD 6990

Good luck and have fun! If you just want to play WoW, the first one should be fine. If you want to play more advanced games, feel free to search the internet! There are tons of opinions that are just as good as mine. Just don't get a mac, as they cost too much usually to be practical for gaming.

What are good computer specs for online gaming?

Q. Ok so I was wondering what are some good computer specs for a good online gaming experience? games such as mmorpg's etc.
Thanks

A. Mmorpgs need a good internet connection or else it would lag when your in places wheere there's alot of people. Also a good graphics card will tremendously help. AMD5770 if your on a budget Geforce 460 for the mid-enthusiast, and 580 if your just hardcore and are willing to spend 500$ for a single card. For the CPU get ATLEAST a duo core or higher that has a high speed than 2.5 preferably. Also 4 gigabytes of ram should be enough for all games. I think that's the most important specs for a gaming computer.
