    ya i think a lot of people with top spec machines now don’t want to fall to much behind anyone else if some new hardware comes out, even if there machine is fine for what they use it for. It’s just an addiction to wanting to have/test new hardware in your machine.

    Try the flight sim series Lock on Modern Air Combat and the IL2 Series. They don't look as good as fps shooters of course but then again they have to generate vaste area's.

    Flight Sim 2004 is actually fairly easy on a system. The other 2 sims really tough.
