Would you rather....


Would you rather:

Have an old Pentium 4 PC with windows XP, 512 MB RAM and no dedicated GPU

or

Have a last-gen console.

 

Just a random question :)

I'd pick the Pentium 4 rig, and order a better rig on the net.

 

Also, can play some Quake on that thing :P

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

I kinda meant it as the only thing you have, so your main rig/console.

Thats a hard one, you can play newer games on the consoles but theres so many old school classic games on pc you could play.

last gen console, however I'd pick the ps 3 with firmware version 3.5 if I could choose so that I could implement my own backward compatibility.

Last gen console, zero question.

 

Pentium 4's suck, XP is dated, 512MB of ram with no dedicated GPU on top of that makes it a useless potato for anything that requires a PC with real power. At least with the console, I could play some Tales of series games which are infinitely times better than dealing with an XP box with less power than a modern cell phone.

That's what i thought, and still 10 people voted for the P4 PC. This is why i asked this question, it's interesting to see these results.

Considering I can bust through 10GB of ram easy just with Chrome and being the server host when I play with friends, yeah... 512mb of ram for that reason alone is a huge no for that pc in 2014. :P

Both fo them arent of any upgrade interest.

One may have more free content.

 

If there is no accessible console games like Bad company 2 around.

PC all the way. SPAZ and AOM.
