@rinthos: Eh, it's outdated. It plays Quake 4 just fine though (as long as I avoid the patch that makes it require SSE :-/ ). My upgrade was assembling a core 2 duo based system in 2006. I'm pretty sure I specified that the athlon was an old machine, though I obviously didn't make it clear enough that I called it that to differentiate it from my new machine Most I'd do for the old one is get an AthlonXP or something (preferably one from after the 180->130 die shrink).
@Kano: thanks for the advice. The CPU is definitely the weak point on the old clunker anymore. If the 96s can offload some stuff from it that'd be swell.
