Hmmmm. This isn’t good.

  1. What the?

    A minimum GeForce 7800 and DX9? I would think that with DX9 you could go with a lower graphics card. Heck, I surprised the game is DX9.

  2. Also, a new computer for yourself at home might be a good thing. 🙂

  3. Oooooh … pretttty. We likes it, my Precious, we does …

    I was really hoping to wait until Win7 came out for a new computer. I’m not a Vistaphobe, but I’d rather have that (and not deal with an OS upgrade).

    On the other hand, my work machine BSODed twice last night on CoX, so maybe it’s time.

    We get a Dell discount through the company. I’ll take a look.

  4. The Beta has been totally crushing my machine with a geforce 8800 and 1 GB Ram. I know, I know, get more RAM . . ..
