Well the FX 5600 seems to fly compared to what I had before. What took most of the time rebuilding the pc, was the down loading of all the latest service packs and fixes. I guess once I have broadband I'll update my internet explorer to v6.
The Prince of Persia is very good. I don't have a lot of gaming experience and can only compare it to the Harry Potter games that we have. The graphics are far superior to the HP games and I'm slowly getting the hang of having to use the direction keys left handed and the mouse in the right. Game does support a console, may be I'll have to invest in one (oh god not more money
) I had (still have some where) a copy of the original demo for PoP, that runs in a DOS environment - I enjoyed that as well, although to try and compare them is like comparing the life stile of a tramp to the queen. The new one has great scenery and runs 3d rather than 2d.
