I am trying to beef up my old pc to play some games. All I have now is some integrated POS :cry:

I got for trade:
XBOX
Brute Force with strategy guide
PoP: Sands of Time
SSX3
NFL 2K5
Rainbow Six 3

N64
4 Controllers
N64 Console
Goldeneye
Mario Kart
WCW vs NWO
Rogue Squadron
Zelda Ocarina of Time
FIFA 98
Killer Instince Gold

That's all I can think of right now. I'll update if I left discover that I've left one out.

More RAM wouldn't be a bad idea either.

After a certain point, the CPU becomes the limitation on a PC rather than the video card, and yours would be one that would fall into that category on some of the newer games.

i'm mainly trying to get set up of the free anarchy online and maybe even play morrowind that i've owned for a while but never been able to run on my dinosaur sysstem
 
I dont think you would need much to run Anarchy Online. I could be wrong, but I think its based on the Unreal Engine, which is really flexible to older cards.

And really. Buy more RAM. If you are running Windows 2000 or XP you will be shocked how much of a difference 512 MB makes.
 
From the install information:

http://216.74.158.92/content/guides/manual/chapter01/

PIII 450 with 256MB of RAM and a 32MB video card as "preferred" requirements.

If you goose your memory up to 512MB, and get a low-endish video card, such as a Radeon 9200 or Geforce FX 5200, just to name a few, it should work without any real issues.

I'm guessing it's using DirectX 7 or DirectX 8, so either one of the aboves ones, or many other ones, should work OK.
