You know there have been a lot of cool games that came out in the past year for the PC (which, IMHO, is the ultimate gaming platform--though I will of course admit consoles have had smash years too...can you say Wii or Gears of War...?). Company of Heroes. Oblivion. Neverwinter Nights 2. Supreme Commander, more recently. there is one major problem with all these games: they require Pixel Shader 2.0. My ancient nVidia GeForce Ti4200 doesn't (read: can't) support that. And thus..I am stuck without these games, by not merely a wall of technical limitation but budgetary constraints and wanting to wait to get the most bang for my buck will a (mostly) kinks free Vista DX10 machine...

At least I've got DefCon going for me. And, of course, the eternal funes that is Lego Star Wars Two. And the goodness of CS. But I'm gonna need to get on that graphics card thing soon...because I donlt know how long I can wait for SupCom.
