I don't see how a 3yr old computer or a 9600XT can run this game(... see other reviews) ?
I have a 2yr old computer with a X800XL 256mb card ... card was upgraded after purchase
I believe the minimum card req(... on box) were: Nvidia 7300 and Radeon X1300. Were these cards offered 3yrs ago ? ... is a 9600XT similar to a X1300 ?

Does anyone know the reccomended Sys Req ?
If the past is any indicator, Minimum vs Reccomended Sys Req can be quite different ... I'd like to know, " what it takes to get the most graphically out out the game"

My X800XL doesn't pass the Vertex/Pixel shading requirement ... you need 3.0
I'm not tech savvy, so I'm confused as to how a 9600XT has 3.0 Vertex/Pixel shading OR if a 3yr old computer has/had cards with 3.0 ?
I bought the game based on those reiews.
Guess I'll have to wait till I upgrade my card.

This isn't a review of the game, but a warning on the Sys Req as stated on the box in contrast to several reviews posted below.

Someone pointed out(... in a comment) my Nvidia 6800 has Vertex/Pixel Shading 3.0 ?
Why then does the box state 7300 as the minimum requirement.

As for reviewing a game before playing it; I stated I based my purchase on the reviews below.
I think they are inaccurate/false.
I'm not tech savvy, thank you for pointing out my ignorance on the Nvidia 6800(... I'm physically disabled and unable to access that computer - in another room).
