More good advice, Bakerman. And even though I've already played CoP (beat it & got the good ending) I plan on going back and replaying. I still want to play the 3 Stalker games (1 game, 2 'extensions'?) in their 'chronological' order (CS, SoC, then CoP), even though I've already played SoC (never finished it) & CoP. However, due to both the glitch/bug ridden CS game and the glitch/bug ridden condition of my old PC, I wasn't able to get far in CS.
My new Phenom II is due to arrive any day now, and, after going through all the usual stuff one goes through when setting up a new PC, I plan on playing something other than Stalker - just to give my frazzled nerves a break. ;) As I said, I have Deus Ex: HR just sitting here and I figure that'll be a good way to initiate my new PC. I'd also very much like to play Metro 2033 (thanks for the suggestion, Vernon; Last Light looks AWESOME). In short, I'm going to take a break from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for awhile. Since my current PC is trying desperately to shut down once & for all (I can only operate in 'Safe Mode with Networking') I'm unable to play ANY games: ergo, WITHDRAWAL!!!!! End result: severe crankiness. :(
Thanks again for the advice Bakerman. Much appreciated.

Thanks again to all who gave me such GREAT advice about buying a new PC! :thumb:
One problem: I am fighting the
SERIOUS urge to load CS, patches and all. I would've thought that with a brand new retail copy of DE:HR sitting on my PC hutch that I'd be all antsy to load it up asap. However, I'm finding that as much as I've loved the DE games, I'm feeling rather obsessed with CS, in spite of all the good advice to play something else first on my new Phenom II. Hey wait! I also never got to play Bioshock II; a (retail) copy of which I also happen to have. Oh Good Lord.
Quandaries and dilemmas.
