everything except (very nuch so) the video card should be decent enough... though they mention an athlon 3400+ in one part and a sempron 3200+ in another so
i'm willing to bet that the 6100 in that computer is integrated, and judging by my laptop (which has the same GPU and is otherwise similar in specs to this computer), expect even portal to run at ~20FPS with the absolute LOWEST settings
