[QUOTE="elliottmc, post: 715826, member: 14268"] 80GB hard drive, 1GB RAM, XP Pro?????? Sounds pretty old to me. I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. I'd almost guarantee that it has low power integrated graphics, and do you know if it has a PCIe slot? Edit - it does have a PCIe slot, but has ATI X300 integrated graphics, which really are terrible. Been there, done that. Best way to accelerate that chipset is 9.85 m/sec2 from a tall building. You'd be far better off getting a decent cheap motherboard with good onboard graphics, along with a CPU and decent RAM. Mark [/QUOTE]
