Not to mention the fact that right now, I've got 3 systems. First, I have a laptop, my best system, with a 2 ghz processor, and 1 gb ram.
Secondly, I have a desktop with a 1.1 ghz processor and 512 mb ram. Last and third, I'll hopefully be getting (free!) a 700 MHZ or 1 ghz, I dunno exactly wht it is, desktop. Now, if I buy a game, will I have to request a key for each system? because honestly I use all 3 systems a lot, so was just curious. Sorry for the change of subject.
