Need For Speed?

Dear Future Gamer,

Nice mag. Is this free price thing a temporary measure to get people interested before you start charging us for the privilege of reading FG?

I mean, it would be all too easy for you to reach 1000 on your mailing list, then say: "Okay! Now you only have to pay £4.99 a week to read the greatest mag around! Woohoo!" I do hope this isn't the case, because you make a fine mag and I know that you will loose 60 per cent of your readers.

Another thing, I'm upgrading my P200 32Mb RAM, ATi Rage Pro PC, and I was wondering whether it was more important to go for RAM or processor speed, when it will only really be used for games?

Whaddya think?

FG: No, we don't intend to charge for FG. 1,000 on the mailing list? You're already out by a factor more than 10 and will soon be out by a factor of 100. As to the question of what to buy first, go for RAM first (it's cheap too) and then processor speed.

Got an opinion or a question? Write to me at andy.smith@futurenet.co.uk...
