My computer is 3.5 years old now and reaching the end of its useful life.
I suspect this will be the last year I will be able to run new 3d PC games.
System specs:
AMD Athlon 2400+
1 gig ddr ram
Radeon 9600XT 256mb (uses very little power)
On board sound thru a via chipset (worked on every game I have purchased in the last 3 years)
Antec True Power 380w PS and enogh fans to turn my box into a hover craft when turned on it's side
Hopefully I will still have enough power to run SHIV as I have no problems with SHIII.
