[^o)] Would need more info to answer. Desktop or laptop? PC manu. tend to shoehorn desktop processors into laptops creating real heat issues. Onboard or add on video? This is the real gaming difference as a good independent video card really saves on processing power and memory usage. More system memory is also always helpful but limited in XP whereas 7 is always looking for more. Look at the games system requirements and understand that minium is usually not enough. Disabling unneccessary windows processes and startup programs usually enhances your gaming experience. That's all I can tell you as I do not play games as the good lord has seen fit to induce vertigo should I attempt to do so.
