I have a somewhat dated Geforce FX 5200, it runs Morrowind okay but not
super-fast. Second- or third-last generation videocards are cheap as
dirt, so any investment is worthwhile. Just don't get the
latest-greatest card, it will be cheap as dirt in few months anyways.
512 MB RAM isn't too much, I'd upgrade here as well. The Morrowind
system requirements are a joke, but that's a common bad habit of the
gaming industry: Write the currently most common system spec on the box
instead of telling the truth, might pull off some potential buyers.
P4 1.8 GHz sounds good enough, no need to upgrade here. CPU speed isn't
so overly important as those guys in computer stores try to tell you. At
least for gaming.
I'd love to see Bethedsa games ported to Macintosh, as games run
generally more stable and reliable on that platform, but seems there
hasn't been much demand for that.
