well that was one of the main reasons i stopped playing pc games. my last game was black and white 2 and the slowdown was rubbish and i got fed up with some games slowing down or jerking around i thought i just want to play my game without it crashing or jerking around so just after that i bought a xbox 360 and didnt look back. but now there is a few games that have come out and ive been wondering what they would be like on a pc. i will be connecting my new pc to my samsung 40" hd lcd so the my new pc has to be the dogs nuts ive got about £1500+ to get the cpu/motherboard/ram and graphics cards. ive just bought fear for the pc for £6.99 on play.com ive got it running on medium settings so far but cant wait to max them out.
