how are these cards simmilar in anyway shape or form seems like a made up reccomended system setup a site has just posted not the official one.

[Shazz]

oh hi my system upgrade was worth it :P

[Gunsmith]

yeehawwwww dual GTX's baby here we go! :awesome:

[BullDog]

hmmmmz - proccy speed more important than GPU?

hard to believe....

[GotenXiao]

Not really. You can switch off a lot of the eye candy - you can't switch off (will probably be able to crank down the accuracy and thus CPU usage though) much of the CPU intensive stuff, such as networking, AI, projectile physics, character physics etc.

Besides, minspec is a 2GHz single core processor. A S754 Athlon64 3200+ meets that.

dual core AMD (opteron) running at 2.25. 2gig ram and a 7950GX2 should be good. I would love a proc upgrade to core 2 though.

[Zatoichi.uK]

Best clock my Core2 6400 then...

[Adrena1in]

Hmmm, don't think my laptop's going to cut it! :(

[Angelu5]

Your laptop might not... but i sure as hell know mine will :p
AMD 2.4 turion, 2Gb RAM & dual 7950 GTX's

give me a link to something official that prooves it, then i might agree with you...

""Midway Games Inc. (NYSE: MWY) today announced revised estimates for the Company's third quarter ended September 30, 2007, and fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. The changes are primarily to reflect Midway's decision to release Stranglehold for the PLAYSTATION® 3 computer entertainment system in the fourth quarter rather than the third quarter, the expected movement of Unreal Tournament 3 for the PLAYSTATION 3 system into the first quarter of fiscal 2008, and lower expected sales of BlackSite: Area 51 primarily due to the adverse impact of the split shipment between the Xbox 360 and the PLAYSTATION 3 system, with the European version of BlackSite: Area 51 for the PLAYSTATION 3 system shifting into the first quarter of 2008."

theres no mention of PC push back, only PS3. (if your reading eurogamer, thats bull)

I read this in a few places, but yes, the official from Mark Rein is that they are still hoping for a November release date for PC.

dagnamit...

So my old UT2k3 PC will probably only just play this monster, on a good day, with a cooling breeze blowing over various components...

This could work out expensive...

[ez64]

if the unoptimized beta/demo works on your system your going to be fine.

same for crysis, excluding the DX10

Nope, it's a no-go - gfx card isn't up to spec. (not surprising seeing as I can't even remember what it is...).

ATM I'm stuck with AGP gfx cards... which, while cheap, probably wont be a good idea methinks...

So realistically, what am I going to want to upgrade to if I'm looking for good bang-per-buck now, and some upgradability?

CPU & gfx card types and ranges?
Mobo chipset?

I assume it's all DDR2 now, so my super-duper DDR DIMMS are now only fit for a museum?

:sad:
