Default XMAS Present great but not so great

So got some good games for the computer for christmas only downside is that my mobo is dead and needs to be rma'd. So it looks like it will be about a month before I can even play my games how sad is that. Grrr..

I had a similar dillema last year. Got a few games and a week before the big 25th my hard drive died.

Most of the time, I am used to seeing the situation where I have given the computer game over to some one, but the person that i was giving the computer game over to does not have a computer powerful enough to handle it.

Ya no joke. My friend is always asking if he can borrow my games like Company of heroes or supreme commander. But he wants to install it on a p3 800mhz with 256mb of ram... some ancient on-board video.
