"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.

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.

hey, ive probably got a better pc than u but anyway i was trying to say that i have many games but if you have new games they will be slow

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

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.
