I remember buying games thinking my generic HP/Compaq system would run them. I was young and dumb and don't know about GPUs and memory and stuff, bought Delta force land warrior and it ran like shittttt, same for r NASCAR Racing 4.

Worst part was when my dad took the Compaq Presario ez2200 to get he CD drive replaced and he told them about how bad the game ran (NASCAR RACING 4), they said it just needed more memory (pfft! It needed a GPU and had a 500mhz Celeron.... Lol)

My disappointment when buying Gothic and I could barely even get the opening cutscene to play.

I think I got my first GPU at circuit city a few years later
