Celeron 2 ghz enough for old games?

[reaper-of-the-lake]

hi

i have a chance to get a super cheap retro pc, celeron 2ghz, mother biostar u8668, 1 gb ram and i will also put an evga geforce 6200 256mb agp (or maybe a sentey or xfx one)

my goal is to play old windows games like descent 3, blood 2, forsaken, simcity 4, etc BUT also i want to be able to play fine other later games like for example quake 4 or dark messiah of might and magic

i want to know if the celeron will be enough in this last case (never had one)

Why not get an 775 socket mobo, cpu and slot pcie gpu like hd 4000 series or gt210, most of them use ddr2 and come as mini atx or micro atx.

They are sufficient for newer games like sims 4 and older games with dual boot windows or similar.

That pc was built for Windows 98SE. It'll run games from that Era sufficiently, but that's about it. Anything coded for XP and newer, like Sims 4 is going to be far too taxing on just 1Gb of system ram.
