I believe only those who bought the soulstorm expansion will have beta access. At least that is what I remember hearing around the time of its release last year.

That was what was said when the game was announced by Relic. Time to start digging out that manual.

It's terrible. This game would have been perfectly runnable if it wasn't for the fact that my video card blew. :x

Well, your CPU is near recommended, and your GPU is above minimum, so im sure you can run it... Probably low-medium, and will depend on your resolution.

That's good. I remember playing the first DOW with my old computer on low settings. Good times :P

Should run fine, the video card is a bit weak since the Nvidia X500 series are meant for low power consumption and not for gaming really. I suggest you upgrade your video card.

9500gt is the same as a 8600gt, which is certainly intended for gaming. Its not the greatest, but it'll work.

I just checked the benchmarks out for them. You are correct. I thought they were really weak but I guess I was wrong.
