well, IMO 2,000 isnt very expensive these days, anything under that price is too basic!

I dont even know what i got, i (actually my parents, but thats beside the point) bought my computer in 2001, windows XP, Pentium 4, compaq...g3 runs fine, and every once in a while it actually handles full scenery and everything on medium at about 20 fps, and everything turned off is very smooth at about 30 fps, and i cant barely tell a difference between 30 and 15, so its all good for me!
Dude,
I hate to break the news to you but you have the equivalent of a $500-$700 computer.
