My current gaming system runs well, but isn't the newest. However I am still gaming on a 19" monitor and would like something a little bigger and some more features.
My wife really wants an all in one PC and unfortunately they don't do gaming well. I'm not a serious hard core gamer, only time to time and I can live with settings turned down a little for better performance.
Games I play now are Mafia, the Call of Duty and Medal of Honor series, MS Flight Sim X, and the Original FEAR. Games I want to play in the future are the rest of the FEAR series, CoD Modern Warfare 2, the new CoD and MOH games, and Mafia 2.
Looking around I see MSI has some all in one systems that come with ATI Mobility 5730 GPU in it which sounds a bit appealing. Available with Core i5 or Intel® Core 2 Quad Q9400s / Intel® Pentium E5400 CPU.
So the question is, with my current system specs listed here, would I get a drop in performance or how exactly would it compare? It's not worth it if performance would go down at all.
Are there other All In One systems with better GPU in them?
Thoughts?
My Current System:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Windsor
3GB A-DATA DDR2 800 (2x1GB and 2x512MB)
Sapphire HD 4850 512mb
