Have you ever either:

A). Upgraded your PC

OR

B). Bought a brand new console

Just to play one game?

I have. I upgraded my dads P75 to a whopping 16MB of RAM (from the initial 8MB) to play Grand Prix 2.

It cost me £50 to buy 2 4MB RAM thingies, from SR of course.

There's no point getting anything less than a 1Gig CPU, can pick these up for around £80. Heatsink + fan another £10, PSU another £40. Motherboard about £90.

Then you need a case £???, a mouse £20?, keyboard £10?, CD-ROM £40-50?, Floppy etc.

What specs do you recommend for a custom built PC. No monitor, and what sort of price will it come to?

I (well, the company my dad works for) spend £1,000 uprgrading the computer for work purposes! The only thing it keeps on crashing! I'm going to get a new one as soon as i can afford it.

In my PC I've installed more RAM, a HDD and a CD-ROM drive. I'm soon going to put in a processor.

I did almost the same thing. Got pretty good Pc's now. No upgrade necessary.

I bought the Megadrive just to play Sonic. Didn't realise there were other games.
