Well, I gotta give him this one marc... You can't get around it... On a pc you have a myriad of hardware running, different things that can be installed, etc... Not to mention that one game's drivers just might have problems with a specific video card or anything else... With a console you have a specific system to optimize/test/troublshoot on... This could change with the advent of the xbox and it's hard drive (see software patches) but I hope not. :( -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
