A Question which can plague many PC Gamers. With todays computers its hard to know if your Specs can run the latest and greatest games. It is hard to say when System requirements have been Listed like this :

    Minimum:

    • Supported OS: Microsoft® Windows® XP SP2/Vista
    • Processor: 3.0 GHz Single Core
    • Memory: 1 GB RAM
    • Graphics: Direct X 9.0c compliant, Shader 3.0 enabled video card with 256MB RAM (NVIDIA 6600 or better/ATI X1300 or better)
    • DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c
    • Sound: Direct X 9.0c compliant sound card
    • Hard Drive: 5 GB of Available Hard Disk Space
    • Input: Keyboard and mouse
    • Multiplayer: Broadband Internet connection

    Recommended:

    • Supported OS: Microsoft® Windows® XP SP2/Vista
    • Processor: 2.4 GHz Dual Core
    • Memory: 2 GB RAM
    • Graphics: Direct X 9.0c compliant, Shader 3.0 enabled video card with 512MB RAM (NVIDIA 7950 or better/ATI X1950 or better)

I am sure some have sat around and asked themselves, well I have an AMD X2 4400 +, how do I know if it is a 2.4 GHz or not ? and I have a ATI Radion HD 2400 with 512 MB of ram is that good enough ?

Well the answer to that question has been presented by the good folks at System Requirements Lab.

Select the game you are looking to check on from their large list of games and your computers specs will be scanned and a minute or 2 later and you will know if you're making a trip to your local PC Game store, or your local Computer store to upgrade.
