Have you ever purchased a new game that costs a fortune and just to find out that your computer doesn't meet the system requirements? WTF!!!! Now, you have to upgrade your computer. If you wanna buy a real good game with cool graphics, you better check your computer first. And I'm not just talking about buying a new video card. Think again.

yes, I borrowed a game of my friend, its Flight Simulator X of Microsoft game. A very cool simulator. I thoght that the game will work normally but the minimum required was processor 3.0 1G RAM to work GOOD, and what is the require to work EXeLENT? 3.8MHZ 2G RAM? I was dissapointed when I saw that the game will not run on my PC Athlon XP 2.0 256mb RAM :( The game was very cool but... My pc is a garbage. And now I will work hard to buy a nice computer and can play Flight Simulator X from my PC. Thats it, I need money to buy!!! Nobody wants help me to buy a new PC? heheheh bye

Same here. Now before I buy something new, I have to check the system requirements first. The newest games get the most demanding requirements ever.

Hi mikhail7 Thanks for this discussion.This is a problem I guess most of the gamers face.You buy a game only to realize that your system does not support the game.It is good to know the system requirements of before buying it,it is not possible always.Upgrading your system for being able to play new games is not that intelligent task you know,how much will you upgrade because games are getting better day by day.

That is so true. And worst of all, it's getting more expensive to upgrade one's system. Now the times are tough who can afford such luxury?

i prefer AMD since i am using one.I use AMD because --comparatively cheap --high performance --high stabilty --greater support for gaming i recommned AMD FX 64 bit computing.It has many advantage over intel pentium 4 processors.but i heard that intel pentium duo core2 is much better than other precedures and a like performance with AMD 64.so i f you are going to buy a new computer either you go for AMD FX 64 or Pentium 4 Duo core 2. thank you!

That's common knowledge. If you're going to spend money on a game then it's a good idea to make sure it will run on your system. It is becoming pricey when you start playing bleeding edge games though. SLI Ram Processor etc..

Yes it is. But after few months, a new game comes out which needs higher requirements. The never ending upgrading, especially in prices. WAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, that's why i hate PC games, if only i have much money to buy PS3 or XBOX 360, maybe i will kiss goodbye to my PC. No matter how much i upgrade my computer there always a game that cannot meet requirements. I recommend you to buy console game, if don't want to wasting time to read and test the requirements.
