    Hey guys,

    I've thought about getting this game since it came out but am not so sure my computer(Dell) will handle it. It has a Intel pentium 4 @ 2.52 ghz, 256 MB of RAM, and a 64 MB nVIDIA graphics card. I was planning on upgrading to 512 MB of RAM and a 256 MB graphics card, or a better 128 MB.

    Will these be good enought to play this game? I was only looking to spend about $220. Is there better for the money? Can you please reccomend something better if there is (from newegg), if it is not a problem. Thanks guy's.

    Jdiggitydogg,

    Spend more on your vid card. Essentially if you buy that card now, its obsolete in now-3 months. I know it sucks spending more than a couple bills on a vid card, but you don't want to spend a little less on something that will have a short life.

    jdogg, don't get that RAM, its crappy. Corsair makes some good stuff, but that is not it. As stated above, get a vid card.

    So I should just concentrate on a video card and not RAM? Do you have suggestions for a good video card.

    Here you go:

    When looking for RAM, you want a CAS Latency of 2 or less (sometimes referred to as C2). That C3 stuff is the crap they throw in Dells ;)

    just stumbled onto this thread....

    man, i probably have 13 hours logged into the game..... INTENSE! I am playing at 1280x1024 at high settings with 4xAA and 8xAF.... I can do ultra settings, but I personally dont see a difference in image quality.

    System:
    Overclocked AMDXP to 3700+
    Geforce 6800 Ultra OC overclocked to 420/1.1
    1GB DDR420 Geil Ram
    Audigy2ZS (hooked to 4 LSi7 and SVS 25-31PC+)

    Two thumbs up!!!:D

    If u want FPS count:
    Press Ctl+Alt+~
    Type: com_showfps 1
    Press Enter

    Damn those guys were creepy. Even the fat dudes would make you pee your pants. I bet that would be a cool experience late at night in total darkness with the Polk Audios blasting out surround effects!
    Do you have any weapons? I did not see that on the site.
