I read the review at http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/hp-pavilion-p6310y/4505-3118_7-33968313.html?tag=mncol and come away with a sad feeling this is not a machine to game on.
"Works fine for unsophisticated users with undemanding needs."
After reading this I suggest you take it back and get the better desktop Cnet noted.

Hello, I bought a new hp pavilion version p6310 pc home premium a few months ago. I am a gamer, and right when I got my new pc, i downloaded dungeons and dragons online. The game was running beautifully, but then after a few minutes it lagged REALLY bad. After a few more minutes, it went back to great fps, then bad and back and forth. Originally i thought lowering graphics would fix it but it didn't. This happened with some games but not others. After a few weeks other games started to get affected and now even little flash games my lil bro plays lag! We thought it could be overheating but after moving it and even putting a fan in front of it, the lag persisted. I know its not the internet b/c my disc games lag too! Please somebody help and thank you to anybody that does
