Hey Brian! What did you upgrade to?

^ It would be sour if a large percentage of those games is Vista-only

speaking of..anyone know if crysis will need Vista? or can it play on direct-x 9.0c with windows xp? and will it look bad on xp? seems like graphics is the main thing going for crysis, and itd be pointless if itll look bad on xp.

how is xp going to make it look bad?

because i dont think it can use direct-x 10, which crysis is being made for

Crysis will probably be playable on Windows Vista with a DX9.0c compliant videocard ; of course, the DX10 specific graphical feats won\'t be present.

I guess it\'ll be kind of like playing HL2 with a DX8 card.

So, i expect ; speedy dual core cpu + Vista + DX10 videocard + 1 - 2 Gb ram.

I wonder what Ati\'s unified shader architecture will do for DX10....

I got a 256 g-force graphics card, I maxed out my ram and got a second 80 gig hard drive. After all of that the game I am currently playing is an old game Claw.

nearly all nvidia cards are g-force cards with 256mb of ram.

what did you get? 6800, 7800 7900?

I think he means the original "Geforce256"

Looking forward to the new Total War game. I was looking forward to Europa Universalis 3, but the dev had to go and ruin the game by making it 3D (fucking ugly 3D I might add), so no EU3 for me.

Also Silent Hunter IV is to be shown very soon, cant wait for that.

So yes, PC gaming is a live and well.
