Thanks for the info Raze <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />.
I have an old fashioned chunky moniter running at 60 Hz (before it was 75).
The RAM seems to be the problem since the minimum requirement for XP is 128 MB. I will probably upgrade to 256 or 512 depending on the budget.
The hard drive is running at 7200 RPM (IDE).
I will probably upgrade the graphics card since future games will need
at least 32 MB if not 64.
I was thinking of getting a Radion 9800 but i heard certain games didnt work with the ATI chipsets and yet others are designed for the nvidia chipsets <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />.
To be completely honest i simply cannot afford a 9800 (over 300 squid) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />.
Is it worth getting the "Abit Radeon 9600" (128 MB) or splashing out on a 9800?
If i build a new system I will have apprxomately 900 English pounds to spend so
That should be enouph to for a system with the above devices although i can probably make it much better.
I would rather upgrade though since it would not cost nearly as much <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />.
It obviously needs more research but the information was greatly appreciated <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.
