[geeks] Info for Cheap/Acceptable PC upgrades

[Andrew Weiss]

Everybody says this, but I can't seem to find a game that doesn't agree 
with it.  Medal of Honor works fine, Return to Castle Wolfenstein works 
fine, Baldur's Gate 2 works fine, No One Lives Forever works fine 
(though the game itself is slightly buggy and causes the occasional blue 
screen), All three Half-Life games with graphic updates work fine, 
Gunman Chronicles works fine, etc.  Now that I don't have to run Win98 
SE I have permanently banished all DOS based OS's between DOS 6.22+ and 
WinME-.  I have DOS itself on a 486 for really old games that require a 
slower CPU.
