    i hate these tossers coming out with threads like this...best thing is to send them packing with a higher spec system..like mine below
    Dell XPS 600
    Dual Core 3.6GHz Extreme Edition
    2x10K 74GB Raptor Drivers
    2x 400GB Drives
    4Gb DDR2 667MHz
    2x 7800GTX

    While you could go with that setup , you would lose fps and lag like crazy if you tried to play online . I would stick to 640x480 @16bit colour , although with your std green screen monitor you might not see the full benefits of your upgrade . Also you did not mention what speed your cassette drive was and this might effect load times .

    Enjoy!

    I used to hate Dell with a passion but then i realise they chare you exorbitant prices for their ever-working, generally quiet pc. Also Dell Factory Outlet has great deals quite regularly

    Credit card will sort ya, you would have saved a few quid if you built it yourself, nice system. I'm just saying that dell are robbing sons of...

    Built this for €300:

    Amd athlon 2200 (1.7 Ghz)
    Gig of ram
    9800 pro graphics
    150 gigs of HD
    Also got a 19 inch CRT

    Obviously not top line stuff but it will play any game out now, I get very little lag, and I am quite happy with the graphics...
