I have ZERO complaints with that setup. You might want to qualify "Best" .. I like my setup for it's ease and convenience.. I suppose if "Best" meant lowest cost some dos or linux setup with 128-256MB ram would be something to consider. |

My definition of best refers to how well the games will play |

DOS is more efficient than anything, but video and sound drivers on an integrated board can be hard to come by. |

I 'll need USB so I guess I'll try XP If it's not up to snuff I guess I'll be using my P3 600 in my upcoming Jukebox or as a server on my home network. By the way.. this P3 600 is an HP and I don't believe there is any way to overclock it or should I even bother? |
