In all the information I have heard they are recommending a minimum of at least 900MHz to be able to play AH2. Also is that a grand total of 64MB of memory you are playing on? If so my friend I might be able to get you the hook up on....nahh its not worth it since the memory costs nearly what the computer is worth in total dollars now.

For less than $600 dollars I bought new motherboard, CPU, RAM and modem.

Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro
AMD 2600+ 333bus
512MB PC2700 (2x256MB sticks)
Intel 56k modem

I then bought another Chieftec ATX tower case for $130 total with 330W power supply and spent another $80 on a 40GB Maxtor ATA-133 hard drive.

Grand Total spent was just under $800 and its a kick tail setup that was bought on short notice.
Title: thank you reschke

They've got reasonably cheap yet powerful machines and it's probably not worth the hassle for you to learn to piece together your own rig, nor would it be worth it for you to buy the baddest thing in existance, either.

Gf 2 mx 400 64mg card ... 39.00 framerates 60-80 avg
or
GF 4 mx 400/440 128 card 49.00 frame rates 75-100 even 110

for alittle more you could toss a 2.0 duron or athlon cpu in it
(the 1.3 ghz durons are $40 , the 2.0's are $80ish )
they all work with that board ... along with either DDR ram or SDram ... the better the ram the faster it runs ...

better then abit boards as far as im concerned.

250.00 and youve got a nice gammer ... not a monster but a nice smooth machine. i havent seen a game yet it wont play with a 1 ghz cpu ... FA3 , IL2, FB, Generals,AA,BF1942, just to name a few.
