Bought Sim City 4 and still only played it for a few minutes. I wish you could play it windowed while browsing the web and chatting on IRC. :-(

I also bought Sim City 3000 and never played it. Hope I eventually find the time for SC4 and didn't waste my wonga, hehe. (Really enjoyed SC1 back in the day.)

Kind of OT but does anyone here enjoy smooth performance in SimCity 4? On my gf3/xp 1900+ it's unenjoyable once the population hits about 20,000 and virtually unplayable once I get around the 50k mark.
