Should I Enable Hardware Acceleration?

So far I have Hardware Acceleration disabled.
I am wondering whether it's a good idea or not to enable the Hardware Acceleration on my Opera as per the specs of my older system.I have a Dell OptiPlex GX280 Small Form Factor Desktop with a Pentium 4 CPU 3.00Ghz. It has 2 Gig of RAM. It has Windows XP Professional SP3 (32-Bit).
Speccy says:
The Motherboard is -- Dell Inc. 0FG113Graphics -- Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family (Dell)
Hard Drive -- 74GB Seagate ST380815AS (SATA)
I use Dial Up Internet.
Given all that, would I actually benefit from enabling Hardware Acceleration or would I probably be more likely to introduce problems by not leaving well enough alone?

I think you'll find that enabling hardware acceleration won't actually do anything unless your system supports it.
The only way to find out is to try it and see!
Still in mourning for Opera 12.........

In that case, I have a feeling that my Flintstones era computer probably doesn't support it and thus, probably won't do anything ... or at least anything positive. Yikes!
