No, y'all don't get to complain about RAM I only have 900mb of RAM so shutup about two gigs of it!

Hmmm....
Lets see, 1 gig graphics, 3 gigs ram...
2.5 gigs proccesor.... is that good? Because I can run Crysis at the lowest settings with 8 FPS average.

My PC, on paper, is probably as good as it needs to be:
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T @ 3.3Ghz
16GB DDR3 10600 RAM
ASUS M4N98TD EVO Motherboard
VFX HD6970 w/2GB
3x24inch screens
2x500GB HDD
DVD Burner
Silverstone Raven RV01 case
Silverstone Zeus 750watt PSU
Logitech G15 (Mk 1)
Logitech G500
Windows 7 Professional 64bit
However its biggest weak point, is me. I'm not as clued in as I once was in the IT world so I occasionally have a few problems (like when I run the the three screens in Eyefinity I get some kind of vertical tearing or vsync problem)
In this case, User Error causes all my problems.

Congratulations and welcome to the world of desktops. I noticed myself that my laptop with better specs (twice the RAM and dual core CPU) couldn't handle anything near what my desktop could.Dr. Pepper Unlimited said:
OT: the weakest link on my computer is the hard drive. That's however not important since it doesn't affect game performance at all. Also the hard drive would still pull me down if I had a ssd disc.
Hehe, thanks. It took three laptops to realize this. I'm a slow learner I suppose. I use to use desktops, then swapped for mobility, but I'll haul my desktop around to a friend's house if it means I can build a rig 3x better for 1/3 of the cost.Yopaz said:
A 6-core at 3.6Ghz each, well that ain't the problem. but seriously, it's the two recycled DVD multi-burners, they are as noisy as a car with the exhaust pipes and extractors taken off. They work when they like to and couldn't read off a perfect mirror shine media.
Processor, without a doubt. I don't buy new games without demo's because I'm not usually sure if my processor can handle it.
Exactly how good is your processor? Because I've been eyeing this game for a while, but am sceptical as to whether I can run it well enough.dyre said:
The fan. It refuses to cool my laptop down.
I recently got an Acer Aspire 5735 and it over heats a lot. And when it over ehats it shuts itself down without any warning.
It's so annoying.
But apart from the fan I'd have to say the video card is the weakest part.

It's an i5-540M dual core @ 2.53 ghz, which I believe is just below the game's requirements. It runs smoothly only on minimal settingsCardinalPiggles said:
Though it's generally ok for medium settings
I'd still recommend getting the game, even if it lags a bit. It's a fantastic game
Try a cooling pad to force that air through. Laptops aren't gaming machines to begin with and require more maintenance than a desktop to keep cool. Plus laptop heat sinks clog up with dust and hair really easily too, found that out with plenty of serviced laptops. Check the oil sinks and cooling system at least once a year.eggy32 said:

My computer is 2002 dell computer which wasn't even meant for gaming.
RAM: ONE gigabyte
CPU: 2.80 GHz
Graphics card: RADEON X300
Also, it is probably loaded with viruses, it thinks the time is 6:27AM,Saturday,27 November,2004, The internet explorer is so outdated I'm scared to open it.

My computer is dead, it sucks...well, It cant EVEN play The Witcher 2 on the lowest settings for everything!
Jeez, I need a upgrade!

Mine likes to blue screen on me every now and then, and I have yet to figure out why. I've done countless scans of the bloody thing but it can never seem to find anything! It's...horribly annoying.
Plus, it gets stupidly hot sometimes....which may well link to the aforementioned problem.

I do believe my laptop's got one of of those intergrated video cards thingies, so it can't play any games ever, no exceptions
At least i think that's why it can't play games
Oh and my home PC takes an hour to load the desktop and internet, go figure
