Ironically, the only game my computer can't take is Pool of Radiance 2.

Resolution is the least demanding visual option of Morrowind. View distance, AI distance, shadow detail are much more demanding.
[/QUOTE]Out of the 3 you named, I took care of the shadows, and I don't think I can tweak the AI distance.

I might try an higher resulution, sometimes.

When I started college, the school provided computers -- PS/2 I believe. Mine had a 20MB HDD. Maybe it has 1 MB of RAM, but I think it was more like 256Kb. The monitor was b/w. I could play my hacked copy of Wing Commander and WellTris and counted myself as lucky as could be.

And, this was only 1990. My, how fast things changed.

While my computer is pretty bad it was top of the line about 5 or 6 years ago. P2, 350Hz , 64 MB of Ram (at the time 92MB was the best they could do except you had to pay an arm and a leg for it), 8 gigs harddrive. But I don't feel bad just visit this site. Once opon a time I owned one of those.

In the link you provided it shows the Coleco Adam computer. I still have one of those and even turn it on once in awhile to play some Buck Rogers and the Planet of Doom!!

Nope, got you beat. Mine's 7 years old, but to be honest, it's only the last few months that issues because of it's specs have started to show up. I'm in the process of building a new one though, so soon I'll be all start of the art (for like a week)

P2
128 MB Ram (just upgraded from 64 a few months ago)
8MB Video Card
