Hi,
Good reason? Bad reason? I don't know. But every upgrade in my systems since my first XT twenty plus years ago has been because my existing machine ("machines" after Magi discovered games :) ) would not run the latest games, or at least not well.
However, there was the XT system, a 386 system, a couple of P166's, the 600MHz Pentium systems for D2, and the hot-rods I'd be working on now if they'd ever let me out of this joint. Five generations in about twenty years is not bad, IMHO, when talking of computers. Given technological advancement, I could have easily doubled that. But five has been enough to keep up with the games.
