latest PC (2yrs old) broken down twice in 2yrs far as i care it can stay like that - played SH5 for about a week before her last death been sitting there in pieces since.
2nd pc (6yrs old) KT600-A motherboard, AthlonXP 2.6ghz, 2.5gig ram (DDR), recently brought a HD4650 1gb - AGP. Runs SH3 and 4 like a dream. Ran SH3 & 4 perfect with the 7600gs card only upgraded cause Battlefield 2 stutters a lot when playing unless i went down to 1024x768 res which was too ugly so upgraded to a 1gb card. Oh and this beast has never broken down on me in the 6yrs its been running. I clean it once a year - dust, fans and reformat the OS etc.,
Only thing i had to replace when adding the 1gb card was the PSU. 450watt to a 750watt. With the 450watt the 1bg card acted strange bsod, one of the hdd refuse to run - wasn't getting enough power. 750w fix that.
