Thanks for the info. I was hoping I might be able to run Gothic I.
I was thinking of spending only a little bit more and getting a Radeon 9600
Pro. It's a generation better than the Ti4200 (which is a good card in its
own right!) and will last me for another generation of games for only $50
more.
Yeah, I knew about the MX. =)

I have a copy of Torment somewhere...never really gave it a try since the
Planescape millieu's not really my thing...but I have seen some really good
revies on it.
Think I'll give it a try.

Thanks!!
Liam
