Try the following specs: - AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz - Abit KT7A Socket A Motherboard - 20 GB Seagate Barraccuda 7200 RPM (optional) - Inno3D 32 MB GeForce2 MX200 (optional) - 15" Magtron 1280x1024 - Asus 50X or AOpen 52X CD-ROM (optional) - Sony FDD - 256 MB SDRAM Kingston or PQI PC 133 - Elevation II ATX Casing or your own preference - Yamaha XWave 512 PCI Sound Card (Optional) > For my brother, he needs 3D video for shooters, flight sims, etc. Same as above but you can change for a newer version of NVIDIA chipset, 64MB. It's already out in the market. The higher of your video card memory you have, the better performance for 3D gaming. > Both of us want a good sound system - bro for the games, me for music. > (I'd like to try that lossless CD archiving format I read about earlier. Gotta > fix up the room too, hehe) I recommend Yamaha sound cards. I am using Yamaha 6000 with 4 channels. > What do you recommend to achieve both? > I haven't bought PC ware in a long time... Nasa taas na ang recommended kong specs. Keep cool! =) Marvin _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
