My PC at home is in a weird state as regards 3D acceleration, and it has me kind of bummed out. It looks kind of like a driver issue (updating to the latest ATI drivers certainly improved things), but I also kind of suspect my video card is trying to die. So far, every game I've tested has some kind of issue: Dungeon Runners crashes, Dawn of War crashes some of the time and refuses to play in full screen mode the rest of the time, and so on (City of Villains looks particularly bad).My dirty secret is that my machine at home is ahem not very close to state of the art: Athlon XP 3200+ CPU, Radeon 9600 video card, 1GB RAM. Between the outdated CPU socket, outdated memory technology, and outdated video card socket, 'upgrades' aren't much of an option... so I think I'm going to be buying a new machine this next week.
Right now, oddly enough, I'm leaning toward an iMac: the tiny footprint, quiet operation, and 'sufficient' video card (three or four generations ahead of my current 9600) all appeal to me. It's not a complete beast for playing games, but by all accounts it actually makes for a very nice Windows machine... and it would definitely play Dungeon Runners. The 20" iMac would also match my current primary monitor at home, for two 20" displays (currently I've got the one 20" and a 17" next to it).
This doesn't mean Dungeon Runners will get ported to the Mac :-). It's just a pretty nice machine, and a quiet machine.
Maybe consoles just need word processors and email, then just hook a console up to a monitor!
