Wow! I never saw this sticky before!! THANKS
I never really considered myself low spec before, until recently, I wanted to try Second Life and it wouldn't let me, and more recently Florensia I can't play because I don't have "shaders"... and Rohan, there was so much lag and I know it was part the game, but mostly my computer.
However, I've been gaming with my Dell Dimension 2400 and onboard graphics card (Intel Media Graphics Accelerator) for years and hadn't had any problems running from simple byond games, to MapleStory, to WoW, Knight Online, ROSE, and Fiesta.
It's only recently that I've fallen prey to the "need to update" attitude... my computer is about 7 years old now, but its hard to justify shelling out the money for a new one, when, besides games (which I don't HAVE to constantly try them all) it works perfectly well for my oocasional Dreamweaver/Photoshop needs...
I'm cheap so I'm in the process of searching for a cheap-o computer that I can just add RAM and a graphics card to to be able to game for a few years.
