I'm not a computer savvy guy! My dns is fine on both my laptop and desktop.
I'm currently playing through a game and I usually check my computer for a tip every now and then.
Will it be safe for me to have my ps3 and laptop on at midnight???
Answer
Yes... you can have both on and everything will be fine.
Many people seem to be misunderstanding the impact of the DNS Changer rootkit. If you were affected by what will happen on Monday, you WERE ALREADY infected. In fact, it's possible you were infected for many months or more!
There IS NOT a new virus going out on Monday that is going to crash the web.
What actually happened is back in November of 2011, the FBI raided the offices of a group that was responsible for the DNS Changer rootkit. If your computer was infected by this malware, your legitimate DNS entries would be changed to fake DNS entries that pointed to this group's illegal DNS servers. From there, they could capture and monitor much of your Internet traffic.
When the FBI raided those facilities, they didn't want to just turn everything off; this would have crippled infected users immediately. So they setup a bunch of proxy DNS servers, using the DNS Changer IP Addresses, so infected computers could still reach the Internet and use the provided tools to clean infected systems.
What is happening on Monday is the FBI is finally going to shut down those proxy DNS servers. Anyone infected with the DNS Changer rootkit who hasn't cleaned their computers will not be able to access the Internet. NOT because they pick up some new infection, but rather because they never bothered to clean up an infection that was ALREADY there.
If your computer has passed the DNS test, you're OK! You'll have no issues if you're on the Internet at midnight.
Hope that helped!

Answer
Depends on your processor and it's speed. The processor is essentially like the brain of the computer.
It works kind of like the engine of a car as well. a 6 cylinder is faster than a 4 cylinder and a 8 cylinder is faster than both. As with processors, for gaming at least - The more cores you have, the better the game will play (better frame rate per second). Therefore, something like a "Core 2 Duo" which has two cores, would be better than a regular old processor with one core. I believe your processor is a single core. The more ram speed, the better. My Core 2 Duo processor runs 2.8Mhz. The more, the better.
To answer your question: Yes it should be able to run it, especially if it's new and doesn't have much already installed on it. You may experience a little lag and overheating if your on a laptop though.
* A friendly tip is to test your internet speed via a Google search for "test my internet speed", and see how many megabytes per send you are getting (768k - 1.5 - 3.0 - 6.0 - 12.0 - 18.0 - 24.0 - 56.0). Most likely you have a lower tier speed as a basic residential connection. For online gaming, you are going to want at least 6.0 or 12.0mbps for an ideal gaming experience. If you have below a 6.0, call you're Internet provider and ask if there are any higher speeds for you to upgrade to. Most ISP's offer upgrades at a fair price of an additional $5 or $10 a month. $5 to double you're internet speed is always a steal :)
