Default Just upgrade my computer ~ recommend me some games to play

upgraded my comp from a
1.1 ghz AMD Athlon
256mb pc100 RAM
tnt2 m64 32mb Pro

to a:
1.1 ghz AMD Athlon
512mb pc100 RAM
5200 fx PCI

i now my computers still not that great, but its an upgrade.

now i don't know what will run good on my computer. And my standards are preaty low (800X640 Medium settings or even [if the game if really cool] 640X400 med settings).

any suggestions on what i should get (and tell me how it will run on my computer).

and how well would i be able to run Halo and UT2004??

HALO, UT2K4

I used the have DURON 1300, 256Mb Ram, GF4 MX420 and I found that it did play UT2k4. It was a bit slower on the Assault and Onslaught maps, but it did work.

Call of duty is a great game, try the battle feild series, there are great mods for that game.

Call of Duty and Knights of the Old Republic! I don't really like Star Wars all that much, but this is the best RPG I've finished in the year!
