That's a fallacy. My Radeon 9600SE is three generations ago (now that the next round is about to launch), and it still runs Doom III, HL2, and anything else I throw at it. The only thing I've had to upgrade in three years has been a larger harddrive.

Here's my specs:

Compaq Presario 6400NX ($400, best buy) 1.5 ghz AMD Althon, 512 mb ram,

120GB Maxtor HD ($60, Craig's List)

Radeon 9600SE ($80, Microcenter)

M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Sound card (Free, since it came out of my last system).

Monitor is from work, some old IBM CRT.

Not the latest and greatest by any means. One more year, then I strip out the parts and move to another, juicier compaq. Now, to stay on the bleeding edge, true, you do need some cash, but to just play games, any halfway decent system will do.

So, let's test the logic here. I buy a $400 computer, upgrade it over time, and end up $540 down, and able to play any PC game available, surf the web, do work, etc.

I buy and Xbox, $180 right now, but two years ago? It came out at $250, right? What's the projected price for the Xbox2? Let's say $250. So to stay current, it's the same outlay over four years, plus a forced upgrade to a new console, and you need Xbox live to go online.

What's a better deal here?

GET PS2, if you can't get a PS2 get A PC. All other consoles suck like mad!

    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
    • Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
