'Can I say that the PS3 is a PS2 and PS?'

No, you cannot.

yeah, I don't understand why there are so little games coming out for the PS2, even though it is selling more than the next gen consoles and it has a bigger user base.

Not in order, the games I would say every owner of a PS2 should have played and should have should be:

GTA Vice City
GTA San Andreas
Tony Hawk's Underground
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
SSX 3
SSX On Tour
True Crime: Streets of LA
Red Faction (even if just for multiplayer)
Need For Speed Underground
Metal Gear Solid 2
Metal Gear Solid 3

If you are a PS2 owner and have not played at least all those games, you are crazy. Buy them on eBay NOW! I have completely MGS3 but do not have it, and I have NFSU2 instead of 1, but 1 is better, all the others I own.

Seriously, that list is gold for PS2 owners looking for a new game.

The floppy is there because it is £4, and I find it useful when the PC won't boot, a lot of tools to get your PC back working are on floppies. I don't really see a reason not to if it's £4 ($8 for you americans).

Heya,

I will appreciate any help so thank you in advance. I am supposed to be advising my friend on how to put together a gaming PC, and I just wanna get it right so that I haven't wasted his money. I have bought components and stuff before, but I've never put together a new PC from scratch before.

Ok right, these are the components and their specs, so please tell me if they will work. Also will this play all the latest direct x 10 games at full specs? Thanks for any help.

A few of the things im concerned with are that the motherboard doesn't state if that RAM will work or not. Also, the graphics card doesnt specifically say it will do 1680 x 1050, so does that mean it won't support it, since it does have a huge list of resolutions it will support, many higher than 1680x1050. Also does the motherboard have the slots for the floppy drive, and also would it have slots for a card reader with a usb slot on the front. Thanks in advance.

I thought when Mac OS X first came out they used the G3 processors, then I thought for Tiger you couldnt use anything less than the G4? And soon you will only be able to use Core Duo.

So mac does need hardware upgrading.

And also, would you really want to be running 5 year old hardware for the latest operating sytem. With microsoft requiring a hardware upgrade it pushes along the computer industry.

[QUOTE="TheWakeUpCall"]Mac isn't the be all and end all of computing. It is actually pretty primative now. They're making it too simple.

When OSX first came out it was spectacular, especially compared to XP, but now it has barely changed in years but windows has.

How many of you actually use a mac? I have both a mac and pc, i would choose pc any day.

what are your thoughts on the leapord update

I think like all of the yearly updates to OSX, they bring not a lot that is new to the operating system really, maybe a few odd features, but nothing imporant really. Nothing like the jump from Windows 2000 to xp, and xp to Vista. OSX just has minor upgrades.
