he should, can you imagine a 100Mhz CPU, with the 120 Gig hard drive that XP requires?

I was thinking about grabbing a copy of Arachne. What's the performance like?

I'm planning on rebuilding this piece of crap (P166, 64mbram, 6gb hd, some s3 crap vidcard)
Into a PIII(Or AMD Duron) 1ghz 128 sdram (or 192/256, because I found some shop where you can get 64sdram for 15 euros each so it will be around 60 euros for 256 sdram, and of course, for those who cannot calculate 45 euros for 192sdram),   GeForce 2mx or GF3TI(Which are a bit more expensive but lotsa better) for a total of 300(?) euros, which is about 280 dollars(euro's worth 0.95 dollars, so if you want to calculate , then do so). So I will have my own gaming machine with Linux (hopefully I won't have to dualboot win98 because of WineX's 50% worse preformance compared to a Windoez comp, but of course, CS and Diablo II don't require much and UT has Linux version, but Medal of Honour...)

Rebuilding systems is fun, when you're like, done after a few hours and your comp runs faster youre like, Whoa... This shit only cost me an hour and 300 euros. And I can run MOHAA on it!!!!! W00T! Anyway, Be happy with your good comp. And from eXPerience with friends, Windoez eXPloited is far worse than Windoez $2000,- it's bloated, and it wastes alot of hd. One of my friends even tried Linux with WineX for a week. He's happy. He almost threw his pirated copy of Windoez eXPloited out of the windows(pun intended, hahahahhaha!!!!!!) But his mom stopped him from doing so. She's evil.

Damn, I'm going off topic.
