I concur with drone: If it wasn't for Vista and the Nvidia card, absolutely.
As it is, however, no way in hell.

Re: Home computer arrangment
I don't understand. Can someone offer some enlightenment?
Re: Home computer arrangment
If you can wait until GoodOldGames makes MTW Vista compatible I'd get it, the graphics card isn't exactly a top choice but pretty potent(basically the 9800GT is a renamed 8800GT...) and if you sort of get it cheaper anyway, then why not?

Re: Home computer arrangment
Hm if MTW is a concern then the 9800GT causes same problems as the 8800 IIRC

I started in jest, but I guess Sigurd wants real feedback. What is the computer going to be used for mainly?

Re: Home computer arrangment
IMO, that computer looks pretty nice. It is about the top of the line you can get now and still have it at a relatively reasonable price. I can't think anything that it wouldn't be able to do well other than running those really old games as previously said

Re: Home computer arrangment
Yeah, setting aside that you might not be able to play older games, that's a pretty beefy rig. And for that price, you could do a lot worse.

Re: Home computer arrangment
The price is actually pretty good. I have been searching around to see what the same machine costs from other retailers.Yeah, setting aside that you might not be able to play older games, that's a pretty beefy rig. And for that price, you could do a lot worse.
It seems the average price including goods tax is 11 000 NoK ($1892, €1320), but that does not include office 2007 or the insurance. Our price offer is 9577 NoK ($1647, €1148) without tax benefit.
Some guys here pay 46% tax and with the tax benefit (deduct the money before calculating tax) they would nearly get it for half price.
Sadly I am using all the loopholes in our tax system and only pay 18% tax. My price would be 7853 NoK ($1352, €942) ...
I don't know what to do. We just bought a desktop a few months ago. And wifey is against it.

So far it looks like only Infogrames and Codemasters work with them, but I hope some other publishers will see the light and smell the money they could make by selling games that noone buys anymore otherwise.Are they getting the license to do this?
