Found this while I was movin. I can replace the graphics card if I really need to.

Is it any good? Will it be able to run Source games, at least?

You should be able to run earlier Source games like Half-Life 2 and CS:S, but the graphics card is probably too weak to do anything beyond that well.

You say you found it -- is it actually in your possession? If so, I'd just try it out myself.

No i think this computer not good for you because today Intel released new hi configuration processors i5 and i7. it is much better then AMD Athlon 64 or Sempron processors.so i suggest you to buy Intel processor.

OH UH NO SHI* YOU DIRTY BOT

Crap, these spam bots are getting more intelligent, and are becoming somewhat helpful trolls(see amd vs intel) instead of posting irrelevant crap. o.o

OH THANK YOU MR BOT I THOUGHT I NEEDED AN ANCIENT PIECE OF CRAP BUT NOW I KNOW A NEW INTEL ONE IS GOOD

Ahem.

That PC isn't very powerful, especially with the onboard graphics. It would be great for a MAME machine, though. That rig could probably emulate everything up to and including Dreamcast, especially with upgraded graphics.

This bot should really be updated.

Is it any good?

 

[jleemero]

HAHAHAHA nope.
Sowwy.

 

[J.D]

Is it better then what's on the HP right now?

 

[jleemero]

Barely, but I believe so.
Just, again, only marginally so.

 

[J.D]

Among other things, can I use this computer as a TF2 server?

 

[bic]

Yes, Srcds is much less taxing on the system than the client games are.

You should only have problems hosting Source games on it if you try to run too many TF2bots simultaneously or use it for Garry's Mod.

 

[J.D]

A Garry's Mod server would require pretty extensive hardware, and I'm not planning on using bots in TF2 either. Well, it's pretty good to know that I can run a server now.

It supports PCI-e, so you can shove a semi-modern graphics card in there.
