Ive always been a PC gamer. I dont really know why except that my parents wouldnt buy me consoles because they think I would play too much :whistle: LOL the pc is worst I can play whenever I want (laptop :devil: ) :cool:

I'm a pc gamer because, even if I'd have a console, I would have a pc also...

And ya both have there pro's and cro's

The only time a console is better than A pc is for mutliplayer games for people sitting next to each other. I don't really understand why no-one has made a PC with multiple controller ports.

Thats a fair point... But if you have a sexy graphics card like a ATI 9000 series or a lovely Nvidia FX series.. then the graphics are super smooth. However saying that, you do need a hell of a lot of DDR RAM to play some games. I cranked up Doom3 to Ultra Quality and it was eating 500 Megs of RAM :D

PC.

I used to be a dedicated gamer, but to tell you the truth, I played nothing whole last year (my comp is old and I cant upgrade yet...).

Even though consoles have some flaws (like controller, if youre a FPS player, you'll hate it, that is, if you played them like they should be played, with mouse/keyboard first), the idea of upgrading every 4-5 years is much better than upgrading every three months... Then again, when consoles hit the middle-life cycle, the graphics are far behind a well optimized gaming PC.

I use PC and Console for all my gaming needs. Sometimes consoles get games first, sometimes PCs do.

OK, so PCs have much better graphics (providing you have a good graphics card [6800GT w00t!]) but consoles are fun when you just have a few mates over to watch movies and play games and hang out etc.

    • 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
