Keep up with the conversation ABF. I was talking about Metroid Prime with the disk read thing, which I'm pretty sure is a Gamecube exclusive.
On the system stability thing, I expect my games to be a lot more stable, and as a general rule, they ARE in fact more stable. A computer doesn't "just crash", and it isn't a motive, but there is always a cause. You yourself admit your system is very unstable. It's hard to say how far that goes, but if you have gotten to the point that you simply accept games crashing as par for the course, there's problems that need to be dealt with.
I can use my computer for months on end without a single crash. What happens between those months? I happen. I experiment with my computer a lot, and sometimes I get some... unpleasent results :D.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
