Forget it. Not for such a tournament only. I am not able to cook or bake money, otherwise I'd buy one. I have other priorities for what I spend my money for. I know that I CAN buy a faster computer. But don't tell me when and for which prize I will do that. My personal limit is DM 500-600 = approx. $220-$270 for at least twice the speed. That means at least 1GHz. That means board & CPU for $220-$270 because my board has a limit of 750MHz. Sure, this is my own choice. You have to accept that. You all have NO right to DEMAND a hardware upgrade of my computer before I can participate at such a tourney. Got it? Period.
