It could run games, providing you have all the other hardware needed. But it's not that good for money. About 6 months ago it was priced at 92 GPB. it should of gone down in price... And bare in mind thats the RRP. could properly get deals etc...  

you have 99GPB to spend, Brilliant! Get this processer if you can, it's about the same price but 1.5 times better

Intel Core 2 Duo
E8400
L2 Cache: 6MB
Clock Speed: 2.66 GHz
FSB: 1,333MHz
Price: 96GPB

E6550 Performance: 1.14
E8200 Performance: 1.42

They are very similar in price, Buy the E8200 if you can, it's much more value for money and much more future proof.

Hope this helps you, Rippzter.

Looks good, but didn't you just buy a Quad Core computer?

Thanks for the reply but i spent that little bit extra and got a core 2 quad q6600

E6550 Performance: 1.14
E8200 Performance: 1.42

Hope this helps you, Rippzter.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Sorry, didnt read the op correct, I thought you were buying a pre owned computer. Well, for a processor, I think that it looks good. It seems that all the specs are there, I dont think there'd be any problems. As for money wise, I aint sure about the price, but £99 seems a fair price. I'd pay it anyway.

(don't call me a noob.)
