I now have a converter which I stated in my last post and I can hook up a linux laptop running Doom3 or HL2 to my big screen RCA in higher resolution than any game console, so that is not attractive to me for that aspect.


Transactional support, I as writing my post while you were writing yours. Wink In my case, I would have had to buy a new video card, faster processor, and more RAM in either case (LInux or Windows). Are you using WineX? errr. Whatever they are calling it now?

I want to continue the FF series, I don't want to switch to another RPG. I have completed all the FF series from 7 on, except 11 which was networked for PS and windows.

Have you installed an emulator like SNEX9x and played any of the older FF games? I'm playing through 1 on my GBA during my morning commutes and lunches and having a blast. low-res graphics and all.

That was the main reason I purchased an Xbox, I was fine with my Gamecube until I found out that Doom3 and HL2 were coming to the Xbox. Then I did the math.
