Demo did not play too well, So I waited for my pre-release to come in.
Like most people the game set me back $50.00. I also needed a DvD drive = $80.00 Thinking my processor was gettine too hot - new heat synch & fan were $30 = $160.00 so far....

When the game crashed out on me, it was suggested it was likely my video card. - Bought a new card $200.00. Still the same issues. Played around with drivers & it worked a couple games & finally pooped out all together.

I the heck with it, I'll wait till the release more patches. I was surfing the net & pc loced up. It turned out to be a bad HDD. New Maxtor 230GB drive on sale = 100.00
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Spent $450.00-$460.00 = Game plays perfect - SO FAR....

Well at least now you know you have some new and good equipment that should last you awhile.

That really sucks :(

My only problems were sorted by a patch thank god (and Stompy since I didn't think patching would work)

I really didn't think my PC would run the game, like Gaucho says though at least you are sorted now so hopefully no more probs :)

I think you mean heatsink - unless you want a heat synchroniser :D

yea but you know what dude. you may think you bought all that stuff for cnc3, but what about the next games? you would have to upgrade anyways to keep up with the latest games ;) so basicly you had too.

And it will be well worth it. Upgrade now to really good stuff that way you won't have to do it so soon, you know, give you a few years.
