This summer I dropped in a new graphics card and it's still in the top 10% of benchmarks (and has half as many fans, a single new card was faster than my old SLI setup).
It had all the fast, and 12 cooling fans. When I built my computer in 2011, I built a tiny god. What kind of geek builds a low-power PC? The only acceptable answer is 'a broke geek' otherwise turn in your geek card. I might be in the minority, but I don't think it will be a tiny minority.
Then I spent £60 on a low end graphics card because - why spend more when I have a console for gaming and a media player (WDTV at the time) for watching downloaded shows and movies? Speaking purely for myself, I built my computer in 2011 with a i5 2500k and maxed out the RAM. With a few exceptions, I think the majority of people here seem quite intelligent and logical but have somewhat of an aversion to change and unnecessary innovations. This helps gamers play the Ps2 bios pack. Youll be using this Bios package in Windows and Linux. I suspect you might well be surprised at the hardware used by people who use Slashdot. Playstation 2 Bios Pack 7 is the best tool that makes your PCSX2 workable.
