Okay, that's what I thought it meant. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

That looks to be fine for what you're looking to run on it. I would do a quick check against that model number on google and see if any recalls have been placed against it or if any capacitors/transistors have blown out on it.

Glad that I picked the right one. ;) Anyhow, thank you for the advice, and I'll look for recalls and any capacitors or transistors have blown out on it.

I took some more research, and I found a search result on Google that listed that the PC I chose is known for Capacitor problems, so that won't be my choice. However, I found this one:

I did some research, and it looks like a good choice. What do you think? I'll also be playing Q*Bert and Space Invaders on it as well.

How about this?
