*hehe* ...found this funny conversation while looking for GTA3 Specs:
Person A: What do you think the minimum requirement to play Game X?
Person B: You'll need DirectX 8.1, Pentium-III 1GHz, Geforce 3 or Radeon 8500, A3d, EAX, or DirectX 8 sound card, 384MB of RAM if you have Windows XP or 256MB if you have Windows ME, and 1GB of space.
Person A: But, you're lying! Game X can run on my Pentium-II 400, DirectX 7.0, Geforce 2 MX400 with 32MB, AC97 onboard sound, Windows 98, and 128MB of RAM. Look, I can play this game at 50 frames per second! Let me show you!
Person B looks at Person A's computer running Game X
Person B: You call that playable? What the heck is wrong with the environments, the creatures, the skies, the objects, and the terrains? I can't tell any difference among any of these stuff. And, the sound... wait, someone is hitting you from the sides, no.. from behind... You'll need to increase some of the quality settings! I'll help you to change...
Person A: Shut up! What the hell are you babbling about? And, don't touch my computer! This game is very playable on my machine; it's very fast, but I don't play well in this game. Just go away!

I know, there's minimum & reccomended specs, I wish they'd do "playable" specs too.
That said, with a lot of clever memory management & detail altering, I got GTA 1 running playably on a 8MB 486-66 :)
I tend to just use my PC for emulation gaming now (as well as music etc.) although I do have GTA3 on it- that's the only really "modern" game though. I have consoles that I prefer to use to play other types of game on.

I had to build a new PC for my boss yesterday...:(...
Pentium 4, 1 gig of RAM, stupidly fast...totally wasted on him....(altho not as waste as the huge cabinet sized Unix box we have...that's a total monster....massively expensive & soooo over-specced, which makes me kinda mad; that fucker could support 1000 heavyweight users but how many have we got?..less than fucking 10!!.....RANT MODE OFF>...:)
The strange thing about fast computers is that after 6 months they feel slow; you kinda get used to the speed, however fast...weird how your expectations of something changes....

once there was a boy that was soooo exited over his 900MHz computer. He went home and plugged the whole thing in. Turned on the power and NOTHING HAPPENED!
Think it's the ATX that is too low-powered since it's from an old computer.
Well...back to buying new parts *sigh*
I just hope that it isnt the MB

Sorry, I haven't been around for a while, but I now have a job! Anyway, My new computer should be here tomorrow. I love this thing and I don't even have it yet. It's a 2.4 GHz with a 160 gig drive with and Audigy 2 and All-in-wonder card in it. Completely custom built for $2500. I'm gonna be broke for a while. But now I can't make my keyboard play itself...
