Rod: I have seen some 166 MHz systems for $799.00 which is probably plenty for a lot of people but may not be enough a year from now.A good screwdriver shop here has a 233MHz MMX with 32 Megs Ram, 24X cd rom, 3.1 hd ETC FOR $1099 without Monitor which is below Comp USA etc and a lot of people listen to the Salesman.There can even be a problem with VIDEO cards now as they make Games for Video cards for the Virge S3 and another type and some games will play on a System with the Virge 3 but the same game wont play on the other Card.I believe Quake 2 makes two versions.And you are correct that at some point good enough is good enough. I was just stating that I know many including myself who started out green and wanted to upgrade later and found out that in many instances it was not that cut and dried.Manufacturers who make "crippled" products either because they left something out or because it is proprietary do the Consumer a disservice.How would you like it if someone made a program that worked on everything but the K6?
