I plan on purchasing FC when verisign is avaiable for CC purchases since paypal is down and I will install it on my current computer. I plan on upgrading my pc to a completly new sytem that will only reuse my current memory sticks. I am assuming that since my new PC is 95% new, SF will not allow me to run FC on my new PC since it has been upgraded more than 40% in hardware. I know ED said they will give new activation for those that used up their five activations. Will they do it for only those with the same PC or will they give me a new activation for my new PC too? I hope they would because I would have legally purchased the game. If I have to buy another FC for my new PC, then I'll just wait for the CD from naturalpoint if it has a standard CD protection scheme, even though I wanna play this sucka now.
