I had been through four consoles and five jobs before most of the games in the notes had come out.

My top five were virtually chiselled on stone tablets by comparison :)

GTA: San Andreas and NFSU2. But not for the reasons you think. They were the first games that I could play on my school laptop. It was super slow (amd A6 1450 Apu, 4 gb ram) and those ran perfectly fine.

    Heh I played NFSUG2 on a laptop with 2 GB RAM. It shipped with Vista but ran great with XP.

    2 GB was a ton back then! You could fit a whole OS into that, twice!

    I actually have a pentium M laptop that I played NFSU2 on during that time. My sister would use my school laptop (we weren't allowed to use my home computer) and I'd use the pentium m machine. I wouldn't be surprised if the pentium m had better single core performance than the A6.

    Edit: I found a few benchmarks and the 735 is somewhat faster in single core performance provided that the instruction set is supported.
