I just paid today and I ordered pretty much a new computer besides the hard drive because I had a brand new one lying around that I haven't even opened.. I am just curious at to how this hardware could run Crysis, the parts are fairly new but they are not the top dogs like some of the others out there..
AMD X2 4400+
Evga 8600gt 256mb 128-bit
Abit SLI motherboard
2 gigs of Corsair DDR2800
Rosewill 550 Watt psu
Windows XP Pro
I am not using Vista because I don't have the money to get it as of now.. Next week I may pick it up all depending on if I have the money.. Either way, I am due for a new Computer anyway, this machine now is an Athlon XP 2000+ geforce 6200 256mb and 1 gig of ddr333 ram.. I mean this thing is just not acceptable for new age games, but I love playing wow and cs on it. When the parts get here I am going to try the demo to see how it works.. I understand that the GPU is not the biggest most bad ass in the 8 series, and was that a bad choice on my part? Should I have saved for the 8800gt? The card on newegg was 99 dollars and it seemed like too good of a deal just because of the price tag. So how does mediumish settings sounds with this setup?
