Sure it will certainly play Minecraft. You can always install a updated OS and parts from ebay cheaply. Smile Just don't expect the graphics to be top notch, odds are you will need a new graphics card. If you buy one, always check the shader model. You want the shader model to be around a 5.0, games like Company of Heroes run on 3.0 for example, some games run higher.

I would advise getting a bigger CPU 1.8ghz is well horrible along with the RAM, . You can find those for $10 lol A good CPU will run you about $200. RAM will run you about $50. It all depends on what you want. So your looking at like most $425 with the prices I have specified. But again it just depends on what you want.

Think of it this way, nothing is really in MB anymore. Everything is over to GB and TB. So if it says MB upgrade to GB/TB rofl. Honestly I would just buy a brand new computer rather then buying a cheap one then put new parts in it.
