Is it worth it?

Bioshock has really gotten my attention at the moment, and I am willing to spen a fair amount of money to play it.

The problem is, I don't have a 360, and my pc can't meet its requirements.

I want to be able to play it at it's max settings, but that requires either purchasing upgrades for my pc, or getting a 360.

My current specs are; nVidea 6600GT, 1gb of ram, and and AMD Athlon 3500 2.2ghz

What on my pc would i need to upgrade and what would it cost in comparison to just getting a 360??

I can only think of $200 on a video card (X1950). $50 on another GB of RAM. $100 (4200+ - I'm assuming you have a 939 setup) for dual core processor. Maybe a few more for a good PSU if you don't have one already.

Otherwise, I'd say go with an Xbox 360.

well your pc meet the mininmum requirments and a gpu upgrade should get it playable fairly well. a 7900gs should run it fine, I take it you have a 939 system but if you have agp and not pcie forget upgrading as they are overpriced. it should run on your current system just not very well
