After shopping around a bit online, i figure I have no where to go but up with my gfx card, lol. I was caught off gaurd by this, as she runs CoDWaW, HL2, M2tW all att maxed/high with no probs. Ohwell, I will just run down to wall mart and grab something, looks like anything on the shelf will be better than what i have now LMAO

I don't know about you but walmart doesn't seem to be the right place to buy a gaming computer.

Anyways you don't need a super computer to run this game at max.

Never, ever go to Wal-Mart for a computer. Even more, never go to a large company for one.

I got my gaming laptop from a local computer store, and it was $400 cheaper than a slighty suckier one at Future Shop.

Auto-detect was close to the mark for me, though I was able to turn a few things up (from "high") and maintain a good (~50 zoomed out, ~25 zoomed in) framerate.

lobosrul, I'm using an 8800GT and WinXP, it must be something else.

Ah, situation has been remedied. Going to pick up my GeForce 9800 GT with 1 GB in about an hour.

Well this is just crazy. I finally went with auto-detect; which defaults to Max; just to confirm that I could not run it at this level, and things pretty much look similar to High and the game ran fine. I have a fairly mediocre system and assumed that I would need a Graphics card upgrade at a minimum and probably need to double my Ram, but I think I may be fine as is.
