Seems I have the worst computer here but:
"AHA! I am bleeding, hence I won!"

i know...but believe me.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />...
i squeeze every inch of juice i can from this mother..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />

and my game runs allright...thanks in part to the vidcard and the 128M

It will still run old games ok. Its only the latest 3D games that need a huge amount of grunt <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

Hmm, I can run every new game. Maybe not on max detail, but I can play them fine!

Ahhh-Haa! NOT!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />
this time it seems i have beaten death,
if only for a short time,
i have the worst, i win........ <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

i'm not bleeding,
but i do have a
nice healthy eye-strain happening right now..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

low score goes to the green guy in the corner with a PII 333........
