"Top Spin"
Are you saying that it won't run at all on a 2 year old PC or that it
will underperform in some way (slow, fuzzy graphics, etc.)?

For example: If the computer is a 2 year old Pentium 900 with an on board
64k graphics card... it will "run" but at a frame rate so slow that it will
effectively be "not running".

Most of us have 2.5+ Ghz processors and $300+ graphic accelerator cards.

Can you call and find out what the computer's specs are and post them here?

(See the thread I started: Would this run FS9?)

I called, but my daughter doesn't know. Is there a utility I can get
that she can run on the PC to display the specs?

(This is for WinXP I can only hope its the same for Win2000.)

Yeah, on WinXP she can got to Start-Settings-Control Panel-System

On the General tab she will find "Computer:" and the name and speed of the
processor along with the amount of installed RAM.

For the Graphics card Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Display-press
the Advanced button-Adapter tab

Or run dxdiag for adapter info.

Cool, that seems to do the trick.

Now, what all information do I need her to write down?

I tested my own laptop and desktop. Are the parameters listed below
the ones I need to get for my grandson's PC? Any others?

Thanks

Yes, my Win2K system has the System applet. I don't see where it sows
the processor speed or the graphics card or video memory.
