I concur with drone: If it wasn't for Vista and the Nvidia card, absolutely.
As it is, however, no way in hell.![]()

I don't understand. Can someone offer some enlightenment?![]()
If you can wait until GoodOldGames makes MTW Vista compatible I'd get it, the graphics card isn't exactly a top choice but pretty potent(basically the 9800GT is a renamed 8800GT...) and if you sort of get it cheaper anyway, then why not?

Hm if MTW is a concern then the 9800GT causes same problems as the 8800 IIRC

IMO, that computer looks pretty nice. It is about the top of the line you can get now and still have it at a relatively reasonable price. I can't think anything that it wouldn't be able to do well other than running those really old games as previously said

Yeah, setting aside that you might not be able to play older games, that's a pretty beefy rig. And for that price, you could do a lot worse.![]()

The price is actually pretty good. I have been searching around to see what the same machine costs from other retailers.
It seems the average price including goods tax is 11 000 NoK ($1892, €1320), but that does not include office 2007 or the insurance. Our price offer is 9577 NoK ($1647, €1148) without tax benefit.
Some guys here pay 46% tax and with the tax benefit (deduct the money before calculating tax) they would nearly get it for half price.
Sadly I am using all the loopholes in our tax system and only pay 18% tax. My price would be 7853 NoK ($1352, €942) ...
I don't know what to do. We just bought a desktop a few months ago. And wifey is against it.
