Also, PCs are troublesome (mostly do to Windows)... the only reason to buy a PC is for other stuff (not so much gaming at the moment). THe PS2 runs the game fine. Migrating to a PC is a lot of work. And you loose the impressive weather effects that looks so much better on the PS2...
I have a MacPro (late 2010 model, dual six core Xeons, for 12 cores/24 threads). And a 27 ISP display. But I use my PS3 for gaming...
