HP desktops are fine, I bought one, and it runs fairly well. I did have to replace the video card after two years, but it's fine now.

I bought one in 2004, it's still my main vessel, I would buy another HP.... But it has had some troubles over the years. SP2 and SP3 cause it to become unstable, so I run Sp1 only and never do any updates.

Several of them exist for tribes. Whether or not they will work for you is impossible to predict.

Ok so far i downloaded the zip file put it in a folder on desktop.
sounds dumb but now what to do .There is a button at the top that says exract all.

extract it whereever u want.. make a folder called tribes and extract it in there.
the zip contains an already installed already updated version of tribes

Made a folder on desktop extract the zip file in it now have a folder with
17 file folders - base -config -recordings- temp -console.cs -infinitspawn and so on

Those are all the folders with files in them that are needed to run Tribes. When in the main folder scroll down till you find a Tribes.exe, then create a shortcut and put it on your desktop.
