However I´ve been working/studying about two years now on my HP Pavilion, and I was stunned at the minimum requirements you´re actually asking for here. I mean dude, did you know that just by inserting a GeForce TI4600, 3d performance in my computer would be boosted to 1335%, I mean, I certainly like to follow trends, see where everyone´s going and stuff .. but I do remember to keep my feet here, on Planet Earth.

-and lastly, I know this post might be a certainly almost offensive one, so I apologize to my fellow moderators, and I´ll try to avoid these for a while (at least till the next PP) -

**EDIT**: Looks like while I was fixing me something to drink the thread advanced a bit, so please ignore this post and keep on with conversation.

For a minimum i'd say Pentium 1ghz or AMD equiv. 512mb's ddr, might get away with 256 and something like a geforce 2 or Radeon 8500, 40 gig drive, 17" monitor. I don't inderstand why you need a DVD player for a minimum system? Surround sound system?

Anyhow, nem, why not save yourself some money and go dual AMD? I've had zero problems running mine for 6 months now. I ccan highly recommend it.
