probably a little bit of both. mostly internet though
what kind of games?
no offense, but your video card is a little outdated
i think its maybe 3 generations old. you wont be able to play a lot of the newer games because they are very graphic demanding.

btw, how old is this PC?

Your setup would have been a fine gaming computer four years or so ago. I'd stick with browsing, word processing, and games that aren't hardware intensive.

When evolution selects its agents, it does so at a cost, makes demands in exchange for singularity, and you may be asked to do something against your very nature. This force, evolution, is not sentimental. Like the Earth itself, it knows only the hard facts of life's struggle with death. All you can do is hope and trust that when you have served its needs faithfully, there may still remain some glimmer of the life you once knew.

That would be okay for checking my email. J/K

Not much in the way of todays games though. You might need to upgrade if you want to play something like The Elderscrolls 4.

Don't worry about overclocking your CPU with hopes of better gaming performance. The best AGP card for gaming (as opposed to rendering) is the 7800GS - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143046 - and will handle GTA and HL2 wonderfully.
