There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

When we get the required specs, we will know.
I'd get the 9800 for the graphics card myself. *drool*

Hello InsaneApache,
If it is to run Empire, I'ld suggest to wait.
The Nvidia 9800 (the high end ones) should be released soon, and by the time ETW hits the store we'll undoubtly see better equiped ones of those.
That's just the graphicscard, it will be true for any part: it will be better and/or cheaper when you wait.
If youwant to..need to.. will upgrade today: Wolfdale E8000 Intel Core2Duo (the E8400 isn't the fastest, but best bang for bucks I think), an GF8800GT (but note that you won't be able to play STW or MTW then).
I wouldn't buy a quadcore yet. More expensive, consumes more energy, generates more heat, slower per core and games aren't going to use multi threads for a while (nor most applications).
2 GB RAM when you use XP, 4 GB when using Vista.

Ignore this true piece of advice, get 4GB just so you can have bragging rights
Re: I'm upgrading!
XP 'can't' (properly) handle more than 3 GB?

Re: I'm upgrading!
Yeah I stick with 3 just incase 4 kills everyone else in family, I have a quad core and the computer dosnt get that hot (then again i've only had for a short time), vista is royal pain, although you can work around it with a virtual server... I have managed to get evil genius working on it without vista (will be corrected in the arena thread) and it seems to run fine... just vista being annoying because thats it ultimate goal... annoyance
Re: I'm upgrading!
That's actually 3,5 and is only correct for a 32bit version of XP or Vista.
Re: I'm upgrading!
I'm saving up for a dream system of dual 9600's with 2.33 ghz intel sumtin ruther dual core, with 4 gigs of ram, and the cool master comos 1000 and some otehr stuff that i cant remember right now but it totaled up to about 1200$ and thats without monitor or powersupply. but I'm pretty much building a new computer without a power supply( I've won like 3 so far so I think I'm covered[700w, 650w, and a 600w)
Tho' I've belted you an' flayed you,
By the livin' Gawd that made you,
You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!
