Well, with my current PC my load times have been 3-5 minutes for the program, and another 15-20 minutes to load or start a career. I've been pretty patient with that so far.

Seriously, though, just what sort of game load time do you foresee?

Also, with brett25 now having mentioned resolution, I've been debating upgrading my present monitor, which is a Dell E207WFP; 20-inch wide-screen LCD set at 1280 x 1024, 75Hz, 32 bit true color. One of the ones I'm considering getting as a replacement is the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370:

Display Type: LCD display / TFT active matrix - LED backlight
Diagonal Size: 23 in - Widescreen
Display interface: HDMI, DVI
Max Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Aspect ratio: 16:9
Contrast ratio: 1000:1

Is this at all usable for SHIII? Or will that be overkill and mostly unworkable?

(Actually, how well will the pc specs function for SHIV and SH5, too?)
