I used to love playing a game or two. Then I used Playstation II for that stuff and realized they are much better over there. Then PS II died, and just recently it occured to me that I haven't been playing any games for quite a while now, the Radeon doesn't even get a prper workout with its passive heatsink anymore :) I guess lack of time. I mean, for a price of GF3 you can get one hell of a game console that will beat any upgraded cube out there. Or just get a PC :)
