Normally he has to mention that the item is just a Show Item and can actually differ from the Image. German Law say he has to do so. If he does, its fine.

Initial i tought its some kind of rip off like with previous projects ssi-2001 on amibay for example 😀. You are free to take any money you want as i`m also free to not buy if its to expensive. maybe in future i would take one at a more realistic price tag.

For FPS DOS Games even a K6-2 can be too slow. Playing SVGA HighRes Games above 1024x768 etc. there is no general answer, it really depends on what you will play. With older DOS Games i mostly think about Games on 286/386. And here a P200MMX can be to fast also.
