I think the E6300 would be a bit slow for gaming. If you're going to stay with the Core 2 Duo line, you should probably look at the E6600. And the 1 GB of RAM may be a bit low for intensive gaming (I don't play any games, but I always look for at least 2 GB of RAM).Of course, I'm also more of an AMD Athlon person myself, so I can't really say how much the processor speed on the Core 2 Duo's is going to affect you, but most people, gaming or not, are usually looking into the E6600 first. Though, the E6600 is not exactly earth-shattering either, but given the statistics of the ones lower than it, I'd say you'd be more satisfied with it than the E6300.
