Please tell me, will I get decent speed by such processor and 2 GB of ram ?

Thanks

Look, I know you will post many strange(for me) things. I am not pro in this subject and just asking. Will I get normal speed? Just normal not slow?! Thanks

Depend on the game, but with speed hack you will. Try to learn overclocking and you might be able to run most games full speed.

Currently on my Board I have nvidia geforce 6600, but thats not the problem. As soon as I upgrade my CPU to 2.5 Dual core than immediately I am gonna get a new one. what would be your advice? I cant get the latest model, you know, budget but kind of, need a decent one

If you plan to play lots of emulator then go for Nvidia, GTS250 or GTX260 is nice, or if you like ATi either 4850 or 4870 is the best bang for the buck. Aim for whatever that fits your budget and need.

P.S. Ati has released next gen DX11 card, but the price is steep and supply is low right now...
