Cool, I'm pretty well above the recommended and I might even have an SSD by then.

optimized. beautiful.
but will it be challenging, in the way only realism and depth can provide?
and will it be modable?
i think you know my stance on this.

LOL Beltfed, you know your going to do it.
I don't think I will be able to run MP on large servers with my system, I may upgrade in the new year or I may not, I am spending more time away from the pc, but I will get it coz it looks sooooooo good.

Looks like all I need to do is upgrade to Windows 7.
CPU: Intel Q6600 Kentsfeld (running stock) RAM: 6GB DDR2 HDD: WD 640GB (32MB cache) VID: nVidia GTX460
I might...MIGHT...upgrade my CPU to a stronger LGA775 proc.

That's a pretty fast proc for gaming, even now. I've run BC2 at full settings with a E8400 without it even breaking a sweat.

I can't begin to say how much I really don't want to build a new desktop. It's not just that I can't afford it, I really don't want to go through the hassle that comes with custom-building a rig.
True, you get out cheaper, and it generally runs faster than anything on the shelf at Best Buy, but if something breaks, you buy a replacement or ship it off to get it replaced and that's something I really don't have time to faff around with.

I hear ya PFunk. I used to build my own rigs up until my last build a couple years ago which I just had one of the smaller computer shops near by do for me. I just picked and chose all the parts into my “shopping cart” online and they threw it all together and tested it. Why bother going thru the blood, sweat and tears that come with DIYs? Plus, their work is warrantied. Still though, I’d hold off on upgrading till the game gets released. I have a feeling DICE is going to pull a rabit out of their asses with this title, performance wise, because they’re friggin’ geniuses!

d@mn i dont wanna upgrade windows fer this game... It's DirectX 10 and 11, so you either have to upgrade from Windows XP or sit this, and most other new games that will be coming out using current technology.
