OK As long as some one brought up about CPU's holding it all back....

This week I did a real-world model of before and after upgrade.

Before:
GeForce2 MX 32MB (12.41 driver; AA set to auto)
AMD K6-2 500 MHz
256MB PC-100 SDRAM
U100 / 7200 Hard Drive
WinME

Full Screen fps: around 65 @ 1152x864 - 100 refresh
Windowed fps: around 70 to 75 depending on window size

After:
GeForce2 MX 32MB (12.41 driver; AA set to Auto)
AMD Athlon 1133 MHz
256 MB PC2100 DDR Ram (266 MHz FSB)
U100 / 7200 Hard Drive
WinME

Full Screen fps: precisely 100 @ 1152x864 -100 refresh
Windowed fps: 105-369 depending on window size

The Program does not really look that much different (there is a slight diff), but the big deal is that I can run other stuff without crushing the aquarium.
