What type of computer do you have?

Shawn, I hope you realize that flat-panel LCD screens are absolutely HORRIBLE for 3D gaming. Make sure you've got a spare CRT lying around or you'll be sorry :P
As for gateway... *shudder*... I absolutely despise them, they build shitty as hell systems that flip out if you try and do anything with em.

As for my specs:
1.1ghz AMD Athlon Thunderbird (Pentium's are shit nowadays btw)
512 Megs DDR-SDRAM PC2100 266Mhz
Soyo K7V-Dragon+ Mobo (KT266A)
Creative 5x DVD-ROM
TDK 24x10x40 CD-RW w\BURN-Proof Technology
Dual 40gig Maxtor 7200RPM ATA66 and ATA100 Hard Drives
KDS Avitron 19inch Trinitron (aka flat, and crystal clear) CRT Monitor
Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro & Intellimouse Optical Explorer (an older model... the newer models are uncomfortable as hell).
5.1 Digital Sound (integrated with mobo) with EAX1 support
Cambridge SoundWorks 4 speakers+SubWoofer (their digital model)
Magical Fairy Midget that Lives in my Pantaloons (just seeing if you were paying attention).
WindowsXP Pro

As for my gateway (INTERNET gateway, not gateway brand btw) PC:
1.4ghz AMD Athlon Thunderbird
256megs SDRAM
Asus A7V Mobo
Maxtor 40gig 7200RPM ATA100 HD
56x Acer CD-ROM
KDS Visual Sensations 17inch monitor
Windows XP Pro
256megs SDRAM

Built them myself, as I have all previous systems i've had.
Store bought pre-build systems are the DEVIL!

EDIT: The "too hot for my liking comment" is bullshit. You guys just don't understand AMDs. I mean their newest AMD XP 2000+ is about 1.5GHZ and it runs faster than a pentium2 1900-2000! The infamous "heat problem" with palamino's as observed in the THG video is the result of shitty mobos. Now you can get mobos that actually detect a change like that and will shut down to avoid damage to the processor. And btw, the chances of your heatsink falling off the processor are slim to nill unless you're a dimshit and didn't install it correctly.
