Need some advice from someone who really knows computer specs and this game. I have a 4 year old, hell maybe 5 year old. Sony Vaio. Its a 2.8 Pentium 4 It currently has a 128 meg vid card and 1 gig of ram. I bought a 512 vid card and 3 megs of ram I also bought BHaH. I gave it all to my computer guy who ran into problem after problem getting it to upgrade. I've switched video cards so far from one 512 to another. I even bought a new tower with power supply. All to find out that my motherboard wont support more than a 256 vid card. So far Iv'e spent $553. I could return the 100 dollar 512 vid card and get a 256 for probably 40 making it a grand total of 490$ spent. but would I even be able to play the game? Its a clean install of XP no extras running at all. Would it work at a smaller screen res? My other option is to return everything having only spent 200 on my computer guy which can't be recouped. and just look at it as a loss. and maybe buy a new PC at another date. By the way I'm a mac user so the PC was for this game only. Im not out a computer if I return everything Im only out the opportunity to play this game. CFS 3 and BHaH sit quietly on my desk mocking me. PLEASE weigh in with your thoughts. Mike

Thanks guys. I'll see you out there. Max Stachel

I just transfered in from the world, where should I put my gear? Im a mac user but i have an old PC im revamping. The processor is a 2.8 I'll have 3 gigs ram and a 1gig video card after tomorrow. Think thats enough? I already have CFS 3 and I ordered BHandH two days ago. I hope to be up and running shortly S! PS Some of you from the old RB days may remember me as JG1Stachel Jasta 4
