I'm pretty sure that, at the point where I am, I can't play any current games on my 5 year old Dell Inspiron6000 laptop. It runs on XP Home, SP3. But my graphics driver, RAM/CPU, etc.... they're all out of date. I can't play Spore, my computer restarts without warning when I'm in the Space Stage. I know it's because my computer just can't handle the game, and I've been told I can't do anything about it because it's a laptop, but I was only wondering if there's anything I can do? Maybe buy a new Harddrive with improved CPU...? New card? I mean, I don't have a lot of money to spend. If I had a choice, i would buy a new desktop computer. If you want to recommend a good new comp within a reasonable price range, let me know. The game I plan to play on the PC: Assassin's Creed 2 So yeah. Would it be better to not worry about a computer and just get a PS3..? :\
