Well a little of both. I wanted to save him time, but then again, I just thought it was a dumb question.
He has a pc that can't even run many of the 2d emulated games at full speed, so common sense should dictate that 3d is out of the question. I mean with a 266 you can't even run most 3d PC games and again, common sense would dictate that emulated games, which require more horsepower by default, would be totally and completely out of the question.
