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

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.

No-one's disputing the quality of your PC, just the size of your hard drive. (And maybe your brain...)
As I said, I have a P4 (1.7GHz), and 256MB RAM.
On my PC, I currently have: Championship Manager 4, Freedom Fighters, Project IGI 2, Medal of Honour plus the two expansion packs, and Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. I'm getting Call of Duty for Xmas and will have no trouble getting it on my PC, without removing anything else.
I also have Windows (of course), over 6GB of MP3 files, video editing software and over 60GB of video footage from my camcorder, not to mention the entire Microsoft Office XP suite, and lots more besides.
So, I say again... it's not your PC, it's your hard drive.
Or quite possibly, the user.
If you come to a forum with a rant and/or seeking advice, I suggest:
1) You lose the attitude
2) You at least attempt to take on board some of what people are telling you, especially if there's a chance they may know more than you on the subject

But that has nothing to do with it, the HDD depends on how many games you can have on your computer.
If you have 10GB then not very many games/applications.
200GB You can have loads of games/applications/porn, watever helps you sleep at night.

I can only have five games installed on my PC and it is quite new.
This is because I have only bought 5 games.
Ahem.
