Most of the reviews that I am seeing lately for the PC speak about bringing,"higher end systems to their knees." I totally disagree with what gamemakers are doing for games on PC's.

I am going to paint a picture. Let's say you just went out and bought everything you needed for your new PC gaming behemoth. You bought an 8800, 2 to 3 gigs of RAM, the 64 bit version of Vista, a crazy motherboard, and a great new sound card. You already had a great monitor, so you didn't bother with a new one. You are really excited about DX10, and the two new games you bought. After installing the OS, and getting rid of a ton of stuff on it, you get Vista to run with only 40 processes running while idle. It also only eats up 600 MB's while idle(There is a lot of sarcasm here, except for the 600MB...that's no exaggeration, either are the 40 processes, you started with 68 originally) then you realize...I have these two great new games that are going to look smoking on this machine. You do the install, and said games chug along as if your PC was two years old and ready for an upgrade. Smoke starts coming up out of your ears and a blood vessel bursts in your eye. You feel one of your molars crack from the tightening of your jaw. That's the picture I am trying to paint.

I have read reviews of these new games and they all say the same thing without directly saying it...WAIT TO BUY THE NEW OS AND NEW GAMES UNTIL THE HARDWARE PLAY CATCH UP...That is all.
