Sergey, It is entry level but more than adequate for computer chess. A full system now would be an AMD Athlon 1.4 or 1.5 Ghz with a 266 Mhz front side bus and 256 to 512 Mb DDR memory with a 60 to 85 Gbyte hard drive and both CDRW and DVD ROM drives coupled to a nice 64 Mbyte video card. Married to a nice 21 to 24 inch monitor you would feel like you were driving a Rolls Royce Corniche or a Mercedes 600 SL. A nice sound card with front and rear surround speakers would be great for movies and games. You can get such systems for under $1600.00 in the U.S. . Just look in the May edition of computer shopper. You did well in buying your present system and it should give you many years of use.
