Dell Dimension 3000
Intel Pentium 4 proccessor (2.8 GHz at 533 FSB)
Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2 (98MB Graphics card)
Integrated Sound (Doesn't matter to me)
256MB Ram
Wireless internet network (54 Mega Bit Connection Speed)
256k DSL (Qwest)

To be true, that computer sucks ass. You can play Quake3 with that rig and get half ass performance, but IMO I think that renegades inferior code will make Renegade play worse than Quake3 on your computer.

BTW that is funny "98MB Graphics card" LOFL. Your integrated graphics card is stealing your system memory. So when renegades used 98MB of your system ram, that leaves you with 158MB to run windows, renegades and everything else. Which isn't anything close to what you should have. In other words, the Dimension 3000 is NOT a gaming machine. Its a machine for low level computer users to use for MS Word and Excel.

My suggestion... First get a dedicated PCI graphics card since your computer lacks a AGP card. Something like a Geforce MX OR ATI 9200 would be your best bet. There are not that many cards at all that are PCI, and those that are kind of blow or are really over priced. But a dedicated graphics card would help out a lot and free up some of your system ram.

Next get another stick of 256MB DDR or if you can afford it a stick of 512MB DDR. Paired up with your stick of 256MB DDR, that would equal 768MB of RAM.

Total... you shouldn't be looking at any more than $35 256MB DDR 3200, $60 for 512MB DDR 3200, $50 Geforce MX and $100 ATI 9200.

So at minimum, $85 total. Max, $160. If you pay much more than that, you are getting robbed.
