    Flatout and Sim City 4 runs perfectly on my computer, and I have a Celeron 2.4Ghz, 1 Gig of ram, and a fx 5200 (pci).

    I know the original Dawn of War runs great on my rig, and the expansions should run just as good.

    I really like Ground Control 2, but I don't know about anyone else. It runs perfect also.

    Also, Doom 3 really should work on slow rigs, because it does on mine, but it is on low, of course. Doom 3 requires low settings, and for premium performance a little tweaking.

    The original MYST and Test Drive 6.

    Also, Oblivion ran ok with OLDBLIVION on my computer. It has an average of 15fps. When there are more than 3 people it hits 5 and stays their. Outside it stays 20.

    I used to play Frontier: Elite 2 for ages and this looks very much in that genre. I'll have to give it a go sometime. I'll second this request.
