The issue is one of games, not computers in general. I've got a
computer, partly
for games; however, instead of opting to buy a 3D card, I bought an N64,
thereby
making it my primary system for fancy-shmancy 'next generation' games.
That, INSTEAD
of purchasing a 3D card, not the whole computer.

Try figuring out what someone is saying before you get all
sarcastic-like, 'kay?
