The "Will my computer run this?" thread v1.8

[Anon_Fire]

Any suggestions? here's my current setup:

Manufactuer: ASUSTeK
Model: ASUS CM1630
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 220 Processor, 2.80Ghz
Installed RAM: 4.00GB (3.75 usable)
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Graphics: ATI Radeon 3000

Don't want to spend too much because I can just take it in and have it upgraded from there.

Radeon 3,000 what?

Blu-ray is a waste of money.

Unless you want HI-def.

ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics

Was there just a 3000? If so, that is the first thing that needs to get upped.

josh shut up. A bluray drive is only important if you want to watch bluray movies on your PC. if someone wants to do that I'll tell them what to get. Until then, a dvd burner is cheaper and perfectly fine. I'm really sick of you coming in and giving people bad information. You were trying to tell people they needed a soldering iron before which just shows how little you know. KNOCK IT OFF AND READ A BOOK.

My moderate build lists a PSU from Silverstone and the cheap build from Ezo lists a nice little Radeon 5770. I'd get those, but if you want to go cheaper, Ezo has a list of GPUs that are all ranked higher than the alpha's minimum 7800 GT. I wouldn't aim too low though in case sega ups the specs before the release.

From what I've heard you need a soldering iron to connect some of the wires to some of the chip boards.

WTH. I hope PSO2 will run on my PC. I've got 2 Gigs of Ram, and a GeForce 8600GTS. :/

Based on the alpha specs, the 8600GTS is pretty much bare minimum for PSO2, its performance matches the performance of the 7800GT.

What? o_o
No, that's completely wrong. The only tool that is needed when building a PC is a screwdriver, nothing else.

At times like these, I wish I knew something about computers, especially building them. This whole thread is like Chinese to me. Considering that my crappy little laptop has zero gaming specs, obviously I'll need a new computer to play PSO2. But, I don't know shit about hardware, etc., and me trying to build a computer would probably end with the fire department showing up to my house.
