The only games I've been playing the last few months were SH4 and Flight Simulator X, but still I wouldn't say I bought the upgrades for those games only. For the sake of convenience though, let's say I spent 70 Euro on a graphics card to better enjoy Dave's work on ROW in November, and another 345 Euro for an emergency upgrade about a week ago (motherboard, CPU, RAM, graphics card, hard disk). The result so far is a bit disheartening: though the game runs MUCH better in general, I experience a very weird slowdown whenever I hit a ship and I zoom my camera close to it. It's a massive slowdown that persists well until the ship is sunk. And it also seems the old hard drive hates the DVD-ROM's guts; whenever they're both connected (both PATA devices so they share the same cable), I experience random resets.
