Ugh, is this some sort of conspiracy to get EVERYONE to use WinXP? I am NEVER going to use XP, freaking registration required, phone in my damn code, and only one PC in the household can use it! Like I'm going to pay ~$20 for each additional key. F'ing MS.

I have an older system.

P3 750
768MB pc133 mem
GeForce 2 pro.

I have everything set to max and it works fine.
Only place I need improving is the sound card. I have 2 ISA cards installed. One is used for record, the other is for play.
