ok ok, i know. theres 12 billion threads about this.

 

but i want to hear it from the people who test these builds or know this stuff.

 

not from some website (sysreqlab) or what the recommended stats are.

 

i posted one of these about a month ago, but ive changed my who setup completely.

 

heres what i got.

 

Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 Allendale 2.2GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor

 

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

 

EVGA 512-P3-N800-AR GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

 

Windows Xp Pro.

 

TL:DR version

 

core 2 duo e4500 2.2ghz dual core processor

2GB ddr2sdram dual channel

Evga 512mb 8800gt

 

============================================

 

also, i cant figure out what windows xp to get.

 

does xp home limit my processor or ram or somthing?

 

also do i need the 32 bit or 64 bit version?

 

=============================================

 

also, im shooting for a solid medium, nothing fancy, but i want it to look good.

 

thanks for taking the time to read this, and for your response.

Yes it will, and it will run it even better if your mainbord can support one more gigabyte RAM so you can add it.

 

If you are sticking with 32b OS, no need to buy more then one GB RAM. If you plan to upgrade to Vista 64b go ahead and buy 2.

But check if you mainboard supports it first. It can be on accasion that your board can only handle 4GB memory.  4GB adresspace, as 32b system architecture still being in hardware, will include all memory for you hardware. So that could mean that you will only will be able to use 3½ GB RAM. Even if you upgrade to a 64bit OS.

And it that case the extra 512MB RAM, the difference beetween 3GB to 3½GB, will make no difference anyway.

xp32bit can not use more that 3.4gb of ram.

so get another 1gb stick.

also the game recommended a core 2 duo processor with 2.4ghz, so lightly overcloking that would be recommended.

but if you don't know how don't. utill you read up about it

cpu is old wont run well.

your gpu is good though

ram could use 4gigs.

med settings, no shadow, 15-20fps
