There's just the basics...

I love the resolution, and man would love to see AH this big! We got the video card for my job, multiple terminal sessions open, need the desktop space. 512 MB on the card is decent isn't it?

Sorry but I am so out of touch I don't even know if this is a low end system. most of the add-ons were the highest available like the vid card).

My only concern would be the realtek onboard sound.

Ussually I have problems either with the sound, or the mic. Plus it eats more CPU cycles than a sound card.

Other than that it looks great.

think I'll get better than 30 FPS in 1920 x 1200? (running 512 textures)?
