Thanks Richard - problem being, when he got hold of the original Warcraft (and then an expansion pack I think) no one else could get anywhere near the PC during normal waking hours. We now strongly persuade him only to get PS2 and Xbox games, and the only reason my FS2004 is left to run at an average of 30fps is that the investment in a new video card would no doubt tempt him back to the family computer.
goates, funny you should mention that, I think he is planning a long night in with his mates who will no doubt come armed with their own controllers...
