Windows XP 2 gb ram Nvidia Gefore7600 go card (appx mem 256mb.) 2.1 duo core. This is in a laptop. Now the other question i have is should i be running it in XP or vista, because i have both. With vista i get the shared memory on my GPU bringing it up to like 520mb (after shared memory of course) and DX10. Input? |

It will play on Low, possibly medium. XP also... Vista is just horrible will bring you down those extra FPS that you want to keep it looking smooth. And do NOT share memory with this game or else your just asking for horrible load times and lag. |

Athlon 64 FX-53 6800 ultra agp 2gb ram xp sp2 Yes. Could run it on Medium with maybe a couple settings bumped up to the high-ish zone.
I'll keep watching this thread, if people want to ask me any hardware questions feel free but please post your system specs such as so: CPU, RAM (DDR, 2, 3), MOBO, GPU, and powersupply if your wondering. |

What exactly is holding me back? the video card? Yes. 7600 is a mid range 7X series and a GO to add on with that so I wouldn't except great results but it will play it just fine on Low, but again Medium is questionable. Also I'm not sure if your running DDR or DDR2 as thats is going to be a huge factor in performance as well. I could be wrong as I don't know much about laptop portable video cards (I never use laptops), but from other scaling I would think it would be a between a desktop 6600 - 6800. Try to run some settings on medium, and the heavy rendering low (IE: shadows to character only and minimal view distance). |

Not sure if you can swap that video card out but if its Alienware ask them if they can. Hold out on the upgrade because when it comes to laptops I could wrong by quite a bit and its only a week away from release. Do send me a PM of how it goes though so I can further help others. |
