I found this site a while ago while researching a computer game. I was trying to figure out if my current computer could handle the new game. It couldn't but this site was really good at pointing out what was OK and what I needed to upgrade.

Cute, it says my work computer can't run guildwars :(

That's ok I've been given the go ahead to buy a video card for my work machine so once I get that I'll be fine . . . not that I'd ever play GW at work.

No of course you wouldn't. :rolleyes:

Just remember to check how often they monitor their bandwidth usage.

Wow!!! My computer still rocks even though it is almost 3 years old now. Hurray for planning ahead!!! Almost all of the games that I chose I meet the recommended requirements for. The only ones that my system has a few problems with are the ones that were released in the last couple of months (Oblivion for one). I guess that means that it is time for me to start doing some research again so that I can build myself another gaming computer. Build myself one and give the one I am currently using to my kids to play with. Maybe this time I will get myself a dual videocard setup. :grin:

For dual monitor setup? If so most video cards now have two inputs and support dual video mode, or just get a cheap second one or make sure your MOBO has onboard video, of course this means trusting windows to take care of the dualing but you can't win everything.

My system passed with flying colors, the only feature which didn't feature a full set of bars was the System RAM, said I had 511 instead of 512.

Not for a dual monitor setup but for a doubly powerful videocard setup. Fairly recently they have come up with a way to link 2 videocards to handle the graphic duties in the computer and those systems really rock!!!! The only problem is that both of the videocards have to be the same and it can get to be a little bit on the expensive side..... :shocked:
