It's worth it, not doubt aboot it! My guess is, it's your SIS onboard graphics.

Onboard SiS with shared RAM memory is about the worst thing you can do to an otherwise good system. Do yourself a big favor and get a GeForce 2 online. They're cheap and work well enough. W2K hogs more memory because it has a lot more services running in the background than W98. You can either spend a lot of time tweaking the services, or compensate by going to 512MB. Also disable any antivirus program before starting ANY game. The difference is amazing.

oh yeah whatever SIS advertise or say, they are CRAP for games, even their dedicated card the agp ones, onboard even worse, they are great for office machines which require nothing more than word processing internet and spreadsheets but forget about playing games with it [img]tongue.gif[/img]
