Without going to the store and looking at the PC requirements on the box....

Here are my specs:

- Dell XPS420
- Windows Vista Home Premium (6.0, Build 6000)
- Intel Core2 Duo Processor E6750 (2.66GHz, 1333 FSB)
- 3070MB RAM
- 1366MB used, 4955MB available
- DirectX 10

- 3GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz
- ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (Graphics Card)
- DAC type: Internal DAC (400Mhz)
- Approx. Total Mem.: 1523MB

I also have a Creative Audigy 2 SE for my audio with EAX

*on a side note - My PC can run Bioshock smoothly, however with its current technical issues arising from people with the 8800 Nvidia card, it does crash but others have reported it also.

I love it when people have very powerful components and the POW bad graphics card.

you'll be able to run it probably in mid - mid high

It should run okay, but a graphics card upgrade wouldn't hurt. Something along these lines:

X1950 Pro

8800GS

Yep, it looks good too, it's an affodable 8800 series card, it's less that $200 and performs well at lower resolutions, beating out the competition, the HD 3850.

So is it better or worse then that damned 8800GT (that btw won't run on my 300W PSU)?
