I am looking to buy a PC to hook up to my television to run stepmania on. That will be the only use of this PC. I have around 1600 songs on stepmania, ITG2 files and a lot of keyboard packs. The PC uses the 82815 video controller, which is compatible. If someone could look at the stats of the machine and tell me whether this will run well I would really appreciate it.

you need some kind of video output on that, unless you have a vga port on your tv. otherwise, i don't see anything missing. seems okay.

I actually own that exact computer, and SM runs fine on it. However, the on-board graphics card is very poor (4 MB usually), so don't expect 1280x1024 with 100 FPS.

Other than that, yea the specs look good for SM.

You can run SM on a pc 15 years old. It dont take much power at all.

Just wanted to make sure since I bought a laptop a while ago to do the same thing and SM wouldn't work on it. Thanks for the advice.

It would run SM, but the only problem is there isn't an S-video or video out, so you wouldn't be able to connect it to a television.
