Hmm...I wonder if my rig could squeak by with a 2.4ghz quad-core? Might give it a shot.

I see you got my PM, thanks Sokun ^^.

Well I can easily handle that, w00t...now...lets break it down:

PROC: Duel core 2.6ghz+...Good!
Mem: 1gig/2gigs...Good!
GFX: 7800+ as a min...V.Good!
HDDSpace: 8 gigs uncomp...Good!

Well...from what I can deduct from those specs...us PC guys are NOT going to be getting a s-hitty port, w00t!

Since those are min...I can only guess the recommended would be:

2.4ghz Quads
2gigs RAM
8800+

As quoted from the awesome orks:...

"IZ IS HAPPY, YEAAAH!!! OI OI OI!!! ^^"

Zomg 16 days...cant believe it...and only 9 days till my awesome figurine comes!!

I am the all seeing eye of the "ALL" !!!

You might have answered my question. I have a 2.4 quad core and was worried about the 2.6 min. I'm not sure about how quads compare to duos, but you seem to indicate that my quad should be able to run the game. If that is true, you made me very happy (albeit, I think I'll up my memory to 4gigs just to boost performance a bit).

Lol basically...it doesn't really matter, if your on XP 32 bit, your system doesn't use "4 cores 1 by 1" as a total multi-threaded action...because its simply incapable, it does it sort of using certain "workaround threading" methods to "simulate" the idea of multi-core threading...but when it gets down to it, XP32 just treats it as 1 BIG core with a high clock...despite what "techies" may tell ya .

But lets not get into a heated debate about the LIES!!!! of the hardware industry xD!

You'll be fine ^^!

I can't help but be super curious as to why no one from Activision or Radical seem to want to share the recommended requirements with us.

Two weeks to go, so I'm assuming the master cd is already done and printing will happen soon, if that hasn't already been done. So why not let the cat out of the bag and give us the 411? Or is there a possible delay in store for the PC version?

Min requirements are misleading. Some games run very well on medium settings for those who have min requirements, while other games everything has to be disabled and things look assy. I think it was Eidos' Hitman: Blood Money that had low miniumum requirements, but so much had to be disabled to get it to play at the minimum requirements that it looked like Hitman 1.

Just keep in mind it re-enables some stuff that you may have disabled.

If you use IDT audio drivers and hear a popping after you install SP2, just go into your IDT settings and re-disable power management.

And it seems logging into Vista is a lil slower now, but everything else seems a little faster.

Don't take this personally, but windows has so many errors that just saying it gives you an error doesn't help. Try typing your error into google and see what pops up. From my experience if you have daemon tools or alcohol 120% on your system, it messes with the registry. I couldn't upgrade from xp to vista once because of it. Other than that, no idea what "error message" could mean.

Does it 50000:1 contrast ratio like my Samsung P2070? I dont think so . Monitors FTW ^^!

Reccommended will be one tier up most likely, what I posted.

Yea that's the first thing I noticed. Sokun, probably did switch them by accident.

MY specs aren't as good. It's a laptop.

Windows Vista SP1

HP Pavilion tx2500 Notebook PC

AMD Turion(tm) X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile ZM 2.10 Ghz

3GB RAM

32-bit

It just barely doesn't reach the requirements for processor. But I'm not even going to tempt it.

With out known modding support, I'll have to wait and see if the PC version is viable for me.

The 360 gamepad works great with a lot of these newer games, and old ones as well. I've used it with Resident Evil 4, GTA IV, and even some of those SNES emulators.

its windows updater and actually this is only my 2nd error over a 3 year period. the "error messages are" 80244019 and 80072EFD one says firewall might be blocking it the other says it may be a virus. all im asking is can i just DL service pack 2 from a windows site instead of using the updater?

Should take about 10-15 to do the install after the download.

The requirements for Ghostbusters were announced recently. The minimum cpu requirement is the same as the recommended, its the video card recommendationt hat changes. The minimum is an 8400, the recommended is a 9600 or somesuch. So maybe, maybe, the recommended requirements for Prototype will stay the same cpu wise and it'll only be the gpu one will want to upgrade.

So a lot of summer PC titles, but it looks like quite a few of them have steep requirements.

Bad timing imo.
