Udder Failure gamepower.com .... Dagnabit, I paid good money for my P90 just three years ago and was going to milk it for all it was worth. Well, I'm here to say I've milked it, and I've milked it, and it's just no good anymore. Udder failure. A P90 with 16 megabytes of RAM and no 3-D accelerator card simply won't play anything we saw on the GamePower Caravan. Might as well use it for a door stopper. Our trip to Northern Cal last week was a great opportunity to see all the new games that'll be on store shelves by Christmas. And practically every one of them requires high-octane computing power to budge. That includes G-Police (accelerated P133), Shipwreckers (accelerated P90), The Streets Of Sim City (P166 with 32 MB of RAM), Vigilance (P133), Nuclear Strike, and Sub Culture (both need an accelerated P90 or unaccelerated P133). So I'm going with the flow. I can't quite decide whether it'll be a 233-MHz Pentium with MMX or a 266-MHz Pentium II -- or whether I'll "settle" for 32 MB of RAM or go whole hog for 64 MB, but there's no doubt in my mind that there'll be big bucks involved. Am I reluctant to do this? Will there be a third-person action shooter coming out next week?
