1. never skimp on RAM. Skimp on anything else .. not ram. Ram is 2,800 for
32 or 64 mb (can't remember which). Get a min of 128. Sounds like overkill ?
it's not. (IMHO atleast)
2. display i740
3. HDD 17.2 gb seagate retails at 10,250. Get it. slow'ish .... but cheap
and vast.
4. processor: i'm an intel man. so don't ask me.

dunno. depends I suppose. Lay you hands on a copy of
Strategy: Warcraft , Age of Empires II (age of Kings), Commandos
RPG: Leisure suit larry 7 8 or whatever is current
Action: Mortal Kombat still rulez. Quake III (if ur processor can handle it)
if u get a 3d accel, get carmageddon II.
Note I am not talking about very current games. Can't. Almost all of 'em
want a 3d accel.
should u decide to go in for one .. I recommend the Intel i740 as opposed to
3dfx voodoo's or
riva TNT's. the i740 is 60 Mpixel. the voodoo 2 is 90 mpixel. the i740 costs
rs. 2,125. (8mb)
the voodoo is 7,250. 'nuff said.
