Damn, my 8800GTS 320 is just falling below recommended I still love medium settings but I really do wish I could see it in it's glory. I guess I'll try to save up some cash for the 9800GTS if it comes out sometime within 3 months

staying with the times can be very expensive in the computer world, pd. Don't lose your college fund (if you have one)

and on a different note, it's happened: 2 years and 7 months after I bought my notebook, the first game has been released that my computer absolutely cannot play.

Good point Djembe, and I am in the process of saving up for college for sure, I'd only get the 9800GTS if my parents would go out on a limb and think about that for x-mas

Also, I second what melshaw asks

I was thinking that possibly I could play Crysis at somewhat decent levels minus the DX10 fidaggle with my alienware m9700 but it looks as though that will not be a possibility.

Still I'm glad that Computer Game creators aren't giving up to the console wars. I'm glad they keep upping the ante for best games both gameplay wise and looks.

Your 9700 should be able to run it nicely, medium settings I would think.

true, true. However, the updating will have to wait until I have disposable income and I can find a computer that meets my (moderately stringent) requirements. I don't expect that to happen until mid 2009 at the earliest.

I'm looking for a notebook computer with: 802.11n wireless network card - and no, none of the current ones count. I'm only interested in something based on the FINAL specification, currently expected to be ratified in March 2009 performance-level graphics card, preferably DirectX 10.1 & OpenGL 3.0 compatible 15.4" screen or smaller modular bay allowing interchange of optical drive and second battery 4 hour standard battery life (5-6 hours with main + modular battery) next generation microarchitecture (Intel's Nehalem or Gesher, or AMD's Fusion) solid build quality SPDIF aside from the date-specified components, it's almost impossible to find a notebook right now that gets 4 hours battery life and has a current performance graphics card - heck, it was hard to find one when I was looking to buy a notebook 3-4 years ago, and average system battery life seems to be going downhill. Ideally, I'd want something with new battery technology, but I just don't see that as likely to happen within the next 2-3 years and while I expect my current computer to still be working fine 2-3 years from now, I'd guess that it will be running into some technological limits by then (desired/needed programs may require more advanced hardware)

nah, I'm using Chaz's terminology for graphics cards. Anything SLI would (normally) be high-end. High-end graphics cards are ATI 9800, x800, x1900 and Nvidia 6800, 7950, etc. Performance graphics cards are ATI 9700, x700, x1600, HD 2600 and Nvidia 6600, 7700, 8600M GT, etc.

Yes but the sli refers to the discrete gpu and the integrated gpu in duo which is the way to go for performance and battery life.

I'm starting to feel the same way, it's been over hyped for a long time. Hopefully it won't be.

but it sure is pretty...

I still think single player is going to be awesome. And I still have hopes that MP will be nice too once we get more maps.
