Starforce solution!!!
 

OK, now I have seen everything. My friend just calls me up to go check out some new system he just bought that is very similar to main system. I asked him 'why?' when he already has 10 other systems running and operational (His downstairs sounds like a server room!).

His answer:

"I bought it to play my Starforce games on"

Now I have heard everything! This is rediculous! THis is just so he doesn't taint his main box with SF

-S

PS. He is an avid SH3 player too - to the point of addiction.

Must be great to have the money to just to have StarForce on a machine you don't care about. lol

Tell him to send some my way. ;)

I have a copy of Prince of Persia 3: Two Thrones which comes with SF. I haven't been able to play it because I only have one latest and greatest system which I cannot afford to pollute with SF. I won't offer to give it to any of you either, so the menace won't spread any further and I am blamed for your broken shiny DVD-RW.

SH3 I play ofcourse.... on my latest and greatest system.... ;)

good work

Hey Subman, think he'd be adverse to sending a PCIe enabled motherboard and something along the lines of a 7800 or X1900 class GPU to me? If he's got 10 boxes, I could use the upgrade for Aquarius.

All ten are at least 1 GHz (except 1 I think), but not all 10 are up to snuff by todays standards, if you know what I mean. They are kind of like my boxes over the years - old t-birds and old XP's. Probably an Intel or two. GFX along the lines of GF2's through GF4's. I mean, they are OK, but nothing spectaular for the most part, so don't get all excited! :) He does have at least 2 decent boxes (now) though and at least 1 decent laptop.

PS. Decent should be coined by at least 1 GB RAM, 2 Ghz or better CPU, and at least Radeon 9800 clas vid. That is where I draw the line now days to a workable sys, especially when I am personally looking at an x1900XTX with an XP 4400+ for myself!

Ouch...I think I may just have been snubbed with a 9700 Pro...then again, the 9700 Pro is about the same speed as a 9800 base...but then again, I'm looking into upgrading my graphics again too.
