of money and in deep s**t with significant other. Next purchase will be either a video card or GPL or both. This leads to several questions. 1. Can I run GPL on this system with a Stealth 220 and get 30 reasonable FPS? What if I overclock it? 2. What is the best single card solution for GPL? TNT or Banshee?

I have the same setup as yours, except 128MB RAM (I don't think that matters) and it runs at 36fps nearly all the time with a Stealth 220. BTW I have not overclocked the Stealth yet - doesn't seem to be any need. - Jim

Herc Thriller 8 meg is best. But you might be happy with the Stealth even.

Yup, Stealth will be fine. I'm sure a Herc is better but you can get a Stealth II for about $40 which may save you from coming home one day and finding all your stuff in the street <g>. They just don't understand us do they?
