Does it work? If so then it is OK. If you are asking if anything you mentioned is problematic then the answer is no. Your HDrive may be on the small side. That would depend on how you use your computer. BTW, you don't have TWO CPUs. You have a CPU with TWO cores on one die.

I cope fine with a 40 gig'er, I wouldn't call 80 small... not until the end of 2008 anyway :P Medion MIM 2080 Toshiba T2130CT Macintosh Performa 450 All working wonderfully.

"is my specs ok?" OK for what? The P4 631 is a single core CPU, I don't know what you mean by "2CPUs"? It uses HT but it most cases, you'll get better perfomance by disabling it. The board isn't a great one. Boards based on Intel chipsets generally give the best performance for Intel CPUs. VIA based boards don't perform as well. The FX series never really was very good but at least you have a 128-bit version. Bssically, your system is old. It's fine for doing "normal" stuff, but it's not a modern gaming machine. It should do OK with titles that are 3 yrs old or older, but won't be able to play anything recent. "And that's the fishing line, because Sharkboy said so!"

Just out of interest, you say that disabling HyperThreading may give better performance. Why would that be? Medion MIM 2080 Toshiba T2130CT Macintosh Performa 450 All working wonderfully.

To start with, XP & Vista are the only versions of Windows that support HT...with any other Windows version, the recommendation is to disable it: http://www.intel.com/support/proces... Other than that, if the apps being run aren't optimized for HT, having HT enabled will generally decrease performance. "And that's the fishing line, because Sharkboy said so!"
