You can have the 486SX-50MHz laptop my friend has... it doesn't have a math co-processor.. you probably can play the original Prince of Persia on it.. maybe.. and I know Doom II may work... it only has a 200MB hard-drive.

But seriously.. Anyways, yes AMD 64 is definitely the best. No question about that.

a pentium with MMX Technology will play any game smoothly. JK Get the A64 of course.
