My System Specs are:

Intel(R) Pentium (R) 4CPU 1800 MHz (1.79 Ghz)

1.2 GB of ram

XP Professional

Radeon X1950 Pro XGE

Hey guys i was wondering if my computer would run Crysis even if my CPU is lower than minimum requirement.  I ask this because games in the past have had higher CPU's than my own (1.8 Ghz) and have still played fine. 

Have my previous scenarios been a fluke?

&

Do you think I can play crysis? 

Thank you

I hate greed

Plus no crowd at a Disney Land would be scary as balls. 

As many of you are, I also am mad about CU/NGE that hit SWG.  My question is why did SOE do it?  Why did they create two awful updates that would butcher it?  I have never in my life played a better MMO than SWG Pre CU.  IT was the most fun I have ever had playing a game and I have never found a game up to par to this day. 

Also many of you have heard of KOTOR3 MMO.  To be honest even if this rumor is true, I would still be worried for another mistake.  However, we will see and hopefully it does come out and is $*#$ amazing

"Siege warfare was brought into Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures because Funcom as developers wanted to give players that epic feeling of being part of a large-scale battle. We have all watched movies like Braveheart, 300, Kingdom of Heaven – all these epic battle movies – and we realized how amazing it would be to bring that into a massive online game. So we did, naturally."

"Head out to the Border Kingdom with your guild, or hire yourself out for pay, and wage epic battles for control of player-owned battlekeeps."

..."so Funcom knew that we had to give even the lone wolves of Hyboria the opportunity to satisfy their thirst for large-scale, epic battles."

Some quotes I compiled on the site of Age of Conan about PvP.  I may be stupid, but I don't recall having seen an epic battle with 48vs48 before.  If you have please tell me. 

What is the best Processor out there today?

What is the best/best priced Processor out there today ?

Very hard to me to think about 48vs48 as an mmorpg. battlefiled have 32vs32. Armored combat 100vs100 lol :)

this limit is everyting but an mmorpg number IMO.

Not much of a siege with a total of 96 players.  Not even 100 lol

Are there just instances in Tortage Island?

OR

Are there instances throughout the whole entire game?

I keep hearing people complaining about instances but I am not sure if they have left tortage island or whatever. 

I am taking all of your suggestions into account but why should I not buy this computer and why should i look into the Dell computer?

Before you answer let me address why I wanted this computer:

Won a lot of awards

Easy to upgrade (I know nothing about upgrading parts or anything and it is supposed to be super easy with this computer)

It looks appealing and plays very well

It is liquid cooling which is nice for me because I have always had a lot of trouble with fans and all of my video cards being melted

From what I hear good customer support

Good all around computer (I think lol)

Now I have not already made a choice I am just letting you guys know why I am putting alot of money into a computer.

I would/do appreciate any responses

I apologize if I am blaming Funcom or the developers or whoever.  I was just very excited about the massive sieges and when I heard about only 48vs48, thats not very fun or as fun as 100+vs100+. 

Also whoever said that they did not mention this is wrong.  I do not have a direct link but I do remember them saying that because that is what got me interested in this game. 

Whats funny and ticks me off is that this wasn't a promise.  They said there will be 100+vs100+ PvP sieges.

What they did is lie.  Unless they correct this mistake.

I have another question too.  Has Funcom or whoever is doing this always been this sly and dishonest? 

I was wondering if throughout time can the developers change the 48vs48 PvP to actually 100+vs100+ battles they promised.

Sieges are instanced, and allow at a max 48 vs. 48 people, after they said it would be 100+ vs. 100+ people at the least. I do believe they will eventually be able to get the game at that point, but not right at launch. This is expected... you can't expect everything to be perfect, but you can't expect things to be permanent either. I can forsee the numbers that are allowed to slowly grow...

...otherwise there will be no point in mercenary guilds and less people and action available for sieging. If you're talking about everything else though, that's pretty much the only thing that has a limit of players per instanced map. There are many more in the actual gaming world that are allowed, it's basically sieging that has a limit to the amount allowed.

I hope you are right about them eventually fixing this PvP situation i.e the numbers.  I was looking forward to massive ass siege battles and was extremely pissed off when I heard it was 48vs48.  Like I said in other threads I will still buy the game, but I am a little suspicious about this game after all the "BY the Way this doesnt work..." things/

About 3500 

Ok thank you sorry for making this one of those threads but once again thank you for answering my question

admriker4 I agree with you.  I am not a fan of AOC's 48vs48 "MASSIVE" battles.  I might just play this game because of the massive RvR even though I despise cartoony graphics

so whats wrong? I'm not quite sure what your upset about. Is it the numbers?

At the start they said massive siege battles.  48vs48 is not even a siege its a joke.  Thats more like a tactical mission than a huge battle.  Thats why I am pissed

According to PC magazine I just got today, the "Massive Guild Sieges" that the developers about  are actually 48vs48.  This was the one thing I was looking forward to and now its gone.  WTF 

I mean ill still buy the game (I dont know why) but I hate these little "By the way" things the developers are doing so far.

Im saving up to buy a computer rather than build it myself it is a long story but I must do this.  I customized the parts I want, but I would like feedback on how my computer would run if I bought this one.

It is a  HP Blackbird 002 with:

Quad Core- Intel Core2  Quad-Core 2.66 GHz Q9450

CPU Liquid cooling
Motherboard
EVGA nForce™ 780i

Primary OS Storage
160GB 10000 rpm SATA
Secondary Data Storage
320GB 7200rpm SATA

Graphics Cards
Dual NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT, with 512MB of GDDR3 SDRAM
Audio Boards
Creative Audio Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ XtremeGamer
Power Supply
1.1KW Power Supply

Is this a good computer.  Like I play a lot of games so how long will this last until I need a new computer?
