The need to concentrate on debugging and streamling code instead of trying to be the the game that crammed the most eye-candy that will BSOD or crash.

Well, I have nearly the same configuration, except I have 1 GB of RAM. I run all of those games quite well. On a sidenote, FEAR is greatly overrated. What is supposed to be special about it? The graphics aren't exactly stellar, the gameplay is linear and that's pretty much it. Worst money I ever spent.

Look at this way, in a few years, you'll be to revisit all these games and they'll seem completely different with all the eye-candy!
