It's very common to see the Aquarium running on Plasma displays in lobbies and waiting-rooms. There shouldn't be any need to buy a new computer just to run the Aquarium. Just about any old Pentium-class computer with a halfway decent video card would be perfectly suitable. So if you know anyone who is upgrading, see if you can get their old computer and try it out. Most of the folks on this Forum are into state-of-the-art machines which will run the Aquarium at over 100 frames per second, but you would still get excellent results using a 5-year-old $15 video card at 30 frames-per-second.

Make sure you download the 2.01 version and use the Widescreen feature.
