"PC- Why Bother?"

Is it me or are all the people with high quality PCs getting very frustrated with games.
I have pentium 4 on my PC with 256mb and i can only get two games on it,and the most frustrated thing about it is that i got them near christmas so now when i ask my parents for a PC game at christmas i will have to get a card to get more memory on it, so now i have to spend around £30 on memory and £30 on a game!I could of got to games for that price!
Its crazy!!!
please reply if you agree.

Look asho.

It doesn't matter how many games you have on your hard drive, it doesn't make a difference to the speed they run at.

If games are running slowly then it is because you need a faster PC. Yes you probably do have a better PC than me as mine is a few years old.

If you don't like the problems you have with PC games then get a console. I have all of them. Most PC games end up on a console anyway.

But some of us like PC games. And we don't have that much in the way of problems really. So it is worth the bother for us.

Sim City 4 takes 1GB and the expansion takes a further 1.4GB.

You still haent answered the qusetion of how much space is on your HDD. If you have a new PC there is no reason in the world why it should only hold 2 games!! It's your HDD that is probably the problem.

Windows XP will take up a huge chunk of space, too. 2GB on my system.

915 Mb. And another 600 if you have a really old graphics card.

Xbox games. You know what we think of that.

No I suppose it wasn't recent Lindgren, it was Sim City 3000 so not the best example.
