You can never get enough RAM with a Win98 system, but Win95/98/ME systems won't see anything beyond 512MB IIRC.

It's a good call to get the GTS video card. Tom's HW benchmarks say the GTS is nearly as fast as the Ultra, and the GeForce 3 card is still way expensive. Right now that is a monster system that will get the job done. Even if you only run one game with that 3D setup, you'll appreciate it.

And to be honest, you know, a lot of those 1st person 3D shooters are actually old-fashioned puzzle games anyway.
