Re:Don't let PC gaming die (Score 1)

Thanks for the link. Should have read it before posting. It requires....gasp....a computer. So okay, you might not be totally locked in, but to get around you have to make sure that you spend another few hundred dollars to buy a computer, which puts up close to 1200 anyway. Regardless, this article assumes that you need to have the top of the line everything to just be able to play games on the PC. As an avid PC gamer for years I know this is entire not true. For my current computer, I spent 1200 on the entire thing not just the graphics components and I'm able to run every game currently on the market on high settings with everything turned on. That was a hand built machine, and everything but the case was upgraded. Also as another reader mentioned you can't notice a difference on anything above 40-50 FPS anyway. Some games (ie - Battlefield 2142) even have a frame rate capped at around a 100 or so because anything else above doesn't matter. So my feeling is that this article is written by somebody that doesn't know what they are talking about. Please make sure you know your subject before you post. I read enough crap on the internet to begin with. Slashdot is my sanity.
