What system for Morrowind

[almoststew1990]

I've got the urge to give Morrowind another stab and I want to put together an "old but not really slow" PC for the job. I've got various Socket 775 PCs that I could use if I wanted to run it at max settings and mod it but I'm going for a high settings 30 fps sort of experience on an old PC.

1)Socket A Athlon XP 1700+ with an AGP slot and 3x DDR RAM

2) Dell (eugh) Socket 478 with a 3.4GHz P4 no HT, AGP slot and 4 DDR RAM slots

3)Slocket 1GHz Coppermine CPU with SDR memory, 512mb. Also has ISA slots which makes it more usable (won't be taken apart so quickly!)

4) I've got a Socket 939 2.2GHz Athlon 64 I think with PCI-E and 4x DDR RAM

5) VIA 800MHz C3 Samuel with PCI heh

For GPUs I have a few sensible candidates - GeForce 4 MX 440 128bit which just won't die; AGP 6600GT, some other MX card. In PCI I have a 7950GT and AMD 8470. In PCI it's just my Voodoo 3 2000.

For RAM I've got enough DDR for 1.5GB in 2 slot boards, 2GB in 3 slot and 2.5GB in 4 slot boards. 512mb of SDR RAM in my 2 slot board.

I'm not sure if want to go Windows 98 or XP for Morrowind too.

I should probably clarify I used to do that - have a range of systems that were suitable to cover a wide range of games. But now I don't really have the space to have a bunch of PCs set up, and I don't really have the desire to build a whole fleet. I just build what I want when I get the urge. I currently have a Slot 1 450MHz / AWE 32 PC / Voodoo 3 set up for Windows 98 and DOS gaming because I want to play Doom 2, Motorhead, Hogs of War, Midtown Madness.

At the moment I have the urge to play Morrowind but I know the "minimum specs" for Morrowind are just plain lies! so I thought I'd ask the question about what I'd actually need to get a good experience!
