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.

A. This computer uses laptop parts. I would recommend buying a gaming computer and having someone custom build it. The computer you have listed will struggle in terms of graphics with BF3 and Crysis 3. You'd be much better off with a computer build such as:

Intel Core i5-3570K Processor: http://goo.gl/0CHRy

Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Graphics Card: http://goo.gl/g6sxm

What are the best specs for a gaming PC?

Q. What are the best (yet affordable) specs for a online gaming/internet surfing computer?

Additional note: If you know computer part websites from the Philippines I would gladly appreciate it.

THANK YOU!
Ideal for playing multiple online RPGs.
Good RAM, good memory and graphics.

I just need to know what kind/brand I should get.

I'm buying the CPU part by part.

A. Geforce 8800 is a good video card, and theyre cheap as dirt now. You want at least 3 gigs of ram, probably no more than that. Get yourself a dual core processor with at least 2.5 GHz. No point going for a quad core yet, since they have slower clock speeds, are more expensive, and most games don't even use all 4 cores yet. Most people like Intel but AMD makes decent processors. Grab a SATA hard drive. That's your most important parts, anything else just grab the cheapest one you can find (maybe give some thought to your motherboard. Make sure it's good enough to run the CPU you buy, and has a PCI-e video card slot).

Original Question

Would this computer be good at online gaming?

Q. These are the specs:
2,8 GHz Dual-core processor (3,5 GHz Turbo boost)
6GB Ram
1GB Nvidia 520 Graphics

I heard that these 3 are the most important computer parts for gaming performance. Would this be good for online gaming? Like WoW and RuneScape lagfree at high quality (when not in crowded spots)?

And another question if you know, how can I get that "turbo speed" on the processor? I heard it's called overclocking or something.

A. Definitely. It seems to be an extremely well built computer. I'm not sure how to overclock the processor to achieve that speed. Although, just search up your processor on a guide to overclock it.

Edited*: Also you should probably have this question in the computing section, not the gaming and recreation section. :P

How to reduce Adobe Flash memory usage in Chrome?

Q. For the past few months, I've been having a problem where the Adobe Flash plugin in Google Chrome will use almost 1 GB of memory. I am an online gamer, an example of a site I go on a lot is OMGPOP. I'll be in the middle of the game and then I'll notice a little bit of a lag, which is unusual because of my computer specs. Adobe Flash is always taking up too much memory, how do I make it so that it reduces?

A. how about a dif browser? chrome has flash preinstalled so remove and try for example firefox or opera? just a thought cos nver played games though these browsers especially ff are light and fast :)

What is the culprit for lag spikes during online gaming?

Q. I have Vista(Gateway GT5453E) and I play this "First Person Shooter" online game, and I've been experiencing a lot of lag spikes. Can hardware components be culprits? If so, which can I upgrade to resolve this. Also, my computer takes several long minutes to load into a map room(combat arms). What could be causing this? Are these just internet phenomena or could under-performing hardware be also at fault?

Thanks!

A. The lag spikes could either be your connection failing, or you're getting visual spikes because your computer can't maintain a decent framerate for that second. After seeing the specs of your computer (2.2ghz dual core, 1gb ddr2 ram, nvidia geforce 6150se) it's definitely your computer can't keep up hardware wise. It's a pretty ancient dinosaur sorry to tell you. The way you would never most performance increase is to upgrade from that integrated graphics card to something more decent. A great upgrade would be to the hd 5670.

Original Question

How to make my games run smoother?

Q. How can I make my games run smoother, and faster.
Right now my computer specs are:
DELL
Intel(R) Core 2 Duo T7200 @ 2.00 GHz
2GB of RAM
3GB of Virtual RAM
Sigma Tel Audio
Nvidia Quadro NVS 120M

So can anyone please help how to make my games run faster, and smoother?
Also I play GTA:SA online, COD 4, and both of them lag, as well as other games I try to play.

A. Is this a desktop or a laptop?

For either type:

-Minimize the amount of background programs running, to include antivirus
-Change your resolution to a more commonly supported one (try to match the game res if possible)
-lower the amount of detail, shading, etc to see a better framerate, at the expense of detail quality
-to reduce lag issues, use a wired connection and forward ports if you know how to


For Desktops:

-Increase the amount of RAM (eg 4GB instead of 2GB)
-Swap out the RAM for faster RAM (if the board can support it)
-Try installing a better graphics card. You may have to upgrade your Power Supply as well
