here are the specs, and i know i can run it, but im talking about with high or very high graphics on, and also im going to be using xp probably.
EVGA 512-P3-N845-AR GeForce 8800GTS (G92) KO 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
as a side note i am also wondering whether i can get near to the same performance with just 2gb of ram, cuz thats a lot cheaper. thanks.
thanks for the help this is my first time building a computer, only 636 bucks! better than the dell piece of shit i bought for 1400 bucks and cant run 10 year old games lol.
Yes this seems to be a very nice system. You will have no problems running any of the games you mentioned at very high settings. I have a slower processor but I have the exact same card you are getting with 3GB of RAM on Vista Ultimate and I run all of them wide open.
If you are staying with XP then 2 GB will be fine but if you are going with Vista I would get the 4 GB, even though your system doesn't display the full 4GB only showing between 3.2 and 3.5 GB, it still can use the majority of it. But 3GB would be fine on Vista, just make sure if you go the 3 GB route to get 2 1GB modules and 2 512mb modules, it lets the memory run full dual channel speed by being paired up. If you are going 4 or 2 GB don't worry about it, just make sure you pair all of you memory.
