That's what I was planning on doing. What card should I get? PC? Sorry guys, I'm a macboy for the most part, so I'm not sure what/who to look at.

W00t! Got my copy right now, but I'm at work and I finish at 4:30 British Time. It's now 13:41.

Just 2 hours and 45 minutes left...

...then 30 mins to get home...

...then ages to install...

I hope it works. I have a GeForce 4 MX 420 card on a desktop.

Cameron: Pick up one of the Microtel ones from www.wal-mart.com , stick more ram if not 512MB, and get a new video card. Simple, and pretty damn good. (Optional: get a 7200RPM or higher HD - most of them are 5400RPM)

I'm trying to keep the costs down to a bare minimum, so what would I be able to do with ? Or should I not be such a tight ass and go for the ?

Well they sure are not so generous with the RAM part... And both aren't running Windows (by default that is). (kinda keeps the same problem compared to buying a Mac don't you think?)

Specs-wise, I'd say if you upgrade the video card and RAM of either of them, they both should work fine (where ofcourse the 2.8Ghz one will operate somewhat faster ;)).

I've actually got a legit copy of xp around here somewhere, so that's not a big problem at all.
