It's funny. Whenever anyone asks how well their new gaming PC will handle modern games, they always seem to have the most powerful hardware imaginable, and they always seem to know precisely how to present it - it almost seems like they know precisely what they're doing. And it's not some of the time - it's all of the time. It's almost as if they're deliberately boasting about their new machine.

It's funny. It's a funny coincidence.

I don't expect to see TC coming back any time soon. But it will probably play Crysis med/high. I would get XP and 2GB of ram, then buy a better video card.

Agreed. Something smells fishy.

That aside, how about posting hardware questions in the hardware forums?
