Wrong. Its my graphics card that holds me back more then anything. They dont even make it anymore i belive. Im saving for a pci motherboard (crossfire to be specific), 4+Ghz proccessor, nVidia 8800ULTRA and 4 gig DDR3 ram

Then i will whack vista on it and play crysis, ofcorse vista will be decent by then, directx 10 games will be a standard and crysis will be released before i can ever afford all that.
Also you dont need more then 512 to have a good experience with XP. If you think its coz of the pagefile, thats the same with any microsoft OS....
Also, you worked with them machines, but you have pictures? Nope! Well you never posted them. So i posted these for people who never seen ram piggy backing.
