I just purchased a P120/8 megs ram/ATI WinTurbo 2megsVRAM for equal duty between schoolwork, telecommuting, and yeah, games. I was under the impression that a 120 mhz pentium would be more than adequate for running action games in SVGA mode (the 66mhz Powermac I was using before was *almost* enough to drive 3D action games such as Dark Forces and Marathon2 in SVGA at high frame rates), but after sifting through many of the threads in the various c.s.i.p.g.* groups I now find myself concerned. Does the 120 mhz pentium have enough guts to run these 3D action games in SVGA? I'd be very disappointed in the hardware if it doesnt. The switch from Mac to PC was painful enough to make, if performance is going to be less than stellar I'll be doubly crushed... Any real info? TIA!
