I'm liking the look of the GTX 470 a lot.

I was a bit wrong sorry, I looked at my specs, and I actually have a intel core 2 quad cpu with 2.66GHz.

Just wondering, is the GTX 470 compatible? Or is there anything I need to make sure I have so it will work with my system, or is it as simple as just buying two GTX 470's, putting them in, and then good to go? :)

Hey guys and gals, I'll start off by throwing it out there that I am pretty useless with PC's in general, lol.

So pretty much I have a pretty basic XPS 630 system with a dual core processor, and am running Vista. Not sure on the exact specs of everything in my PC, but hopefully isn't important here.

I was running with two 512mbGeforce 9800gt video cards before, one died, so I was then running with just one, and that one just recently started playing up as well. So I am looking to get a decent new set of video cards to run Cataclysm at the top graphics/FPS (note that it's pretty much ONLY Cataclysm that I will be using this PC for).

My question was what do you guys think would be a suitable pair of video cards for these needs? I have a looked around, but like I said, I am just hopeless at this kinda stuff. Do you think I would be able to simply buy two 512mb Geforce 9800gt's over again and and play it at the top settings?

Thanks a lot for your time for reading this, and if you need to ask me anything about my specs or something, go ahead, I'll try and keep a close eye on this thread. :)

The max you can install is 642mb. And of course it uses 288kb for the system save file and also 288kb per character save file.

^In the config menu for Birth by Sleep, you can choose to up the speed the game runs at from 222Mhz to 333Mhz. It's all legit, and that helps a bit with the loading times. Only drawback to it is that it will drain the battery faster, although from my experience I run it at 333, and it lasts about the same as usual anyway, so nothing to worry about there.

But yeah if you install you'll still have some loading, but really not much, and you'll only hear the noise the PSP makes when it's loading during the loading screen, never during combat or cutscenes. :)

I'd love to see a second analog in there as well.

Personally I am really happy with the screen size, don't really care too much about making it bigger, but I would like a different screen. The PSP can look really lame with it's old LCD screen sometimes, especially when there is a lot of darkness on the screen. Or maybe that would just boil down to making it higher resolution.

And like someone else suggested I'd love for it to be better connected with PSN, so you could see your friends online and such.

Also, while this isn't super important I guess, since most people (including myself) use headphones, I'd like if the PSP2 had better in-built sound. That's one thing that I always found pretty weak with the PSP. 'cause sometimes I just couldn't be bothered wearing 'phones, haha.

So I guess, finer screen, second analog, better PSN connectivity, and better sound, and I'd be happy :)
