It seems odd that specific brands of processors and video cards are recommended. Why not just say "multicore processor" and "DX10 video card"?

Marketing skam from Intel/nVidia?

Btw, your signature... AMD X2 4400+ (938 pin)

Don't you mean 939 pin? :tongue:

Might be that's their test configuration and they're afraid to recommend anything else.

The 938 pin thing: well, uhmm, ... I did some advanced pin mods for performance.

Actually, some pins got bent due to operator error and one snapped off while straightening. It happened to be a ground so I gave it a shot and it still works.

It's all over Gamespot. They got the exclusive I guess. Lemme know how it is, too. I gotta junk my old HDD and reinstall win xp on my new HDD because my old HDD randomly forgets files or corrupts them (and I foolishly installed windows on THAT one)
