lol @ PC bragger ^^ well, im the same with Espi...for most years in my life i played games on crappy hardware and i still can please myself playing them even on lowest setting available ^^ and i often played at Cyber Cafes or similar juz to play latest games and find out the most of them makes me bored at least for 30 minutes ..lol.. so im use to play games with 20 - 30 fps and it still good to me, even with my current desktop, i still like to tune and tweak my games, not everyone knows how to tweak their game setting to literally look good but run at good fps ^^
but then again, some games are better off played in 30 fps, take Far Cry 2 for example, any fps above 30 will stutter, the only fix is to limit the fps to 30 and walla, no stuttering all the way ..not everyone knows that huh? also im am addicted to modding since i touch computer...literally i mod my HD 5670 (yes a mid range card, and slow to ppl with high-end-top-of-the-earth-hardware) but, with proper knowledge i was able to run most of the games with out no problem, not bad...better than someone who literally but hardware upgrade to juz play a certain game... for myself, i still prefer gameplay over graphics,,that's my opinion that is..
