When us old-timers say that PC users have never had it so good, we're not just wallowing in self-pity, it's because we remember the days when spending a week trying to get your new game and your sound card to work together wasn't that unusual. That doesn't mean it's all roses now though, the flipside to all this bigger, faster, better technology is more choice, and critical choice at that.

Back in the day when PCs were slowly making their transition into people's homes, there were only really two decisions you needed to make when it came to buying memory. EDO (Extended Data Out) or not, and how much of it can I afford?
