unseenmenace, i know what you mean about not needing a super computer sometimes. My old system is a 2.6ghz celeron 1 gig of ram, onboard graphics, but its pretty much the same speed at web browsing etc not as quick to react when you double click folders/programmes though, just gaming it cant do, due to the fact it has really old pci graphics(not express) so i couldnt even get an agp card for it but anyway its good for a backup pc incase my main machine needs maintenance.
