From what you have said I would say that yes it is good enough for present games:-D and you shouldn´t have any problems. I am not even going to say anything about how long this machine will last you because there is no correct answer for that.
<BR>I would hang on about purchasing the graphics card, there is a rumour that Matrox is bringing out a card that is going to out perform the G-Force...I don´t have any idea about the price or if this card is going to be any good...all just rumours and press releases.<BR><BR><font size=-1>[ Edited by Cameron Losco On Date <br>June 05, 2002 ]</font>

Hmmm I agree with Cameron on this one,
<BR>It sounds like a good buy,but im also not sure of the stability with forthcoming games <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif">

I will say one thing. It at least SEEMS that PC´s are able to meet the minimum requirements for games for a much longer period of time than their predecessors. I think this is because games are becoming more and more customizable with regard to the amount of detail etc. needed to run. I´ve had my PC for two and a half years, and I haven´t really run into any problems with being able to run games yet.
But we were Dragons. We were supposed to be cruel, cunning, heartless, and terrible. But this much I can tell you, you ape - we never burned and tortured and ripped one another apart and called it morality.
