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!

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
