My PC is a bit over five years old now. I built it to last, but for the last year or two it’s had more and more trouble running modern games on it. I do plan to upgrade when I finally find full-time work, but for right now she serves me well.

However, sometimes a game will be on sale for a ridiculously low price (like, $4 or something) on Steam or GamersGate, and I’ll be curious if I can run it on my PC. Recently I found a website that can help with that question entitled Can You Run It?.

This site scans your system and tells you simply whether your PC meets the game’s minimum requirements. It’s been very handy for me, so I figured I’d share it with y’all, especially those on laptops or netbooks.
