I would hope that we get the option of running with SSE2 or not.(cfg file) Maybe the game runs a scan of your computer and then sets the parameters, like most games do for graphic settings these days. I prefer a game that pushes my hardware, not the other way around. People need to inform themselves of hardware, and upgrade appropriately. Honestly, if you can save up a $150
you can get a new motherboard and CPU and run this game with SSE2.

My question for CA is how is DirectX 10 going to affect this game? Also what about Vista, is it going to be compatible with Vista.

How many people bought $400/$500 consoles to play Maddens football, Halo, Halo2. How many people upgraded their video cards and CPU's to play Doom3 or Half Life2 when those games came out. This is part of the cycle, software pushed hardware, and vice versa. Quit whining and save your money like the rest of us and upgrade.
