This is the final nail in the coffin for gamespot the site has lost it's credibility and this means goodbye gamespot i have already canceled my subscription and leaving because this is a inferior move firing jeff gerstman "he is gamespot" :( .
yes it is good for the performance because if you run to low on hdd space the game,program will not have place for swap-files and eventually run out of virtual memory.Harddrives is the most bottlenecked part in the PC,if you haver a slow hdd the system will be bogged down in games and programs.
i think you should consider that the Pentium 4 is a very old cpu architecture.it is beginning to fade into the museum archives.Pentium 4 was good in the 2003 - 2005 era,but now it isn't worth considering and if you think 3.0ghz - 3.8ghz going to help the simple answer is = no it ain't worth buying.i suggest get a cheap motherboard with the p35 chipsett,cheap ddr2 ram if you don't have any,a Nvidia 8800GT or a ATI 2900 series graphic card and a core 2 quad 6600 or a E4400 cpu ;).
Try out metroid prime or metroid prime 2 echoes and the loading times have been reduced to nothing no slowdowns everything plays at 60 fps and no fps drop :D.
This is clearly a sign of bad memory.i had the same problem that the pc would randomly freeze so i f you have two sticks of ram one of them or both is defective just test with memtest download and burn on a bootable cd here: http://www.memtest.org/#downiso the latest version is 1.70 good luck :) .
That is because you can only see other people in towns and camps,but when you play alone you will only see yourself.if you are playing with a party you can only see the people that have joined the party or guild.The reason for this is simple saving bandwidth, if they have done like wow they would need a lot of bandwidth and then guild wars would not be a free online game.
You should not buy inferior graphics cards that only purpose is to show HD-DVD and Blueray movies because these cards has built in decoder but the game performance is not that great.The best option is to get a NVIDIA 8800GTS 320MB or 640MB memory or a ATI 2900xt 512MB model:).
Supermario galaxy looks like a true nintendo wii game,not a bad ps2 port with crude graphics.Metroid prime 3 will get better graphics,since this is only pictures from the demo not the final game :).
Definitely WOW what a boring game and i wasted over 100 hours on it.I got to level 20 and then i quit playing it because it was to much of the same like collecting stuff and all those boring quest and finally at last the people because in wow almost all of the people who playing is:jerks,no life,noobs,fanatics,insane,depressive etc there you have it stay away from WOW if you can.
Cod3 has some bad mapped controllers also it lags in certain big fighting scenes.if you point the wiimote out of the sensors range, it will take some time for the wiimote to know where it is that's so frustrating.The graphics are really grainy a lot of muddy brown textures that makes it very hard to see where the enemy is,i was very disappointed but maybe you will like Cod3.Good luck finding the right game.
