No way. I wouldnt have to add much to my computer to blow the X-box away if
it doesnt already. Its all video card dependent and if ya buy one itll be
obsolete before ya get it plugged in. Other than the vid card it looks
pretty weak to me. Now if they sell it for $99 and include Fly!II we may
take another look at it.
