Default New G2 user - Advice?

I just bought G2 from another RCU member. I have a P3 @ 866, 512 mb PC133 RAM, 16 mb vid card (NVidia, not sure which) running Windows ME. Not sure what FSB is running at. I'm not into comp's that much but I can get around pretty good.

Any advice for me before I install it? I'm expecting it to come in this wednesday. I can upgrade the video card if you guys think it absolutely has to be done but if I can get by without doing so that would be ideal. I am going to buy my Cessna trainer in the morning from the LHS and I don't have very much cash at all right now. If any of you can think of any problems I might run into and have suggestions on how to mitigate or eliminate them please let me know.

I looked at G3 and had a new comp on order but personal circumstances won't allow for the new comp and starting in the hobby at the same time. I think I chose wisely by deciding to go with an older version of RF and getting a decent trainer rather than playing on a new comp with a sim that costs $200+ and not having any planes to fly.

Anyway, thanks in advance for any help you guys might be able to provide....
