Splinter Cell: Conviction PC System Requirements
Those wanting to play Splinter Cell: Conviction on their PCs have to be mindful of two things: 1) the system requirements; and 2) Ubisoft's new internet DRM.

Sadly, even though a demo is hitting Xbox 360 gamers today, PC gamers won't be treated to any try-before-you-buy action.

oh damn, I got the quad core and the crossfired 5970s.. but I forgot to move to south Korea and apply for an enterprise grade internet connection... damn, guess I can't play it
im not sure if i can bear to miss this game though. so i may have to live with unbisofts crippling DRM.

So regardless of the DRM, I'll be playing it one way or another.
Being an Intel fanboy, I always think that is funny.
DRM is killing gaming.he joy of owning what you payed for is being flushed down the toilet.
better textures, higher resolution, better framerate. i could probably give a dozen more reasons if you'd like?
It must have sucked to be you in the P4 days. Also that's original athlon it's talking about. (though I dont know how fast a athlon II would have to be to match the same...)

don't laugh too hard, remember where they came from:
"Processor 3.4Ghz intel Pentium 4 or 2.2Ghz AMD Athlon64"
clock speed is largely irrelevant anyway, as a rule of thumb, a lower clock speed with the same performance == higher efficiency/lower heat ect, but that's not fact, and it CERTAINLY doesn't mean better value.
IIRC the amd thunderbird or something ran at 1Ghz, slower than the intel equivalent at the time, but still ran a lot hotter.
Piracy is killing gaming, there was no DRM issues, before piracy became the monolithic problem it's become the last 10 years.
i dont wanna make you look bad or anything, but hackers still haven't gotten a proper working crack for silent hunter 5 or assassin's creed 2... ubisoft is still winning this DRM bit = /
ive been looking forward to this game a long time, so i cant miss it. out of principal i wish i could refuse to buy the game, but i can't do it on this occasion.
Ha~ 5 years, i bet GT5 took more than that...
This is a new game, I know the older game also had Sam Fisher as the convict or wanted, I dont think this will like up to metal gear legendary gaming status and seems like an outdated concept... without a solid storyline, this is just another game in a sea of hits and gold standard games...
