Yes quads are nice and all but the problem is they still have a hard time making games that use Duel Core let alone quad core.

The I7s are a nice chipset but hardly worth the update and price cost if you already have a 3.0 GHZ DUO.

The fact that I have a 260GTX+ should be enough to keep me ahead in most game well into summer time or beyond.

Which is why the CPU requirments still surprise me, its just a little odd thats all.

Well thank the luck

got a long story for anyone to want to listen:

So about the beginning of '09, i keep on getting the blue screens of death about 3 hours after playing a game. I kept on updating things from graphics cards to rams to cpu's... and it turns out its my Motherboard doing all this after i take it to a specialist and stop being the cocky SOB I am. So the end of the story is I am going to get a new Motherboard right before (2 weeks) the game comes out, with no interrupted gaming and loving SH-5.
Gotta love perfect timing, and I pray to God Sh-3 GWX will never die.... Hell, I'll still have it on my computer, until i die or the end of time.

Yay Ill be able to play it:D:D

Sir, thank you for reminding me that their are still optimists with keen desire awaiting the sim.( Most ) nit pickers seem to be sliding beneath the waves of defeatism, even at this stage, without having sailed from base. Good on you sir :salute:

well "maybe" the specs mean they just did create a game that will fully use Duel Core and would benefit from having a quad core :hmmm:

thats how i'm going to be hoping it is untill we find out for certain if its true or not

after all the devs did say it will have a brand new never before seen game engine

Didn't we see the game engine already in the videos? Or did you mean the interworkings of the engine itself?

Funny how a little problem can actually turn into a big benefit. My old graphics board (the 8800GTS listed in my sig) bit the dust last month, and it would have just barely missed the requirements. Lucky for me, eVGA replaced it with an 8800 GTS 512, which just exceeds the requirements...sweet!

It's a great card, I'm not worried about SH5 running properly. :) (Of course, I might be proven wrong, but I don't think so :lol:)
Me too, and I think you're right. :up:

Yeah, multi-core and memory optimisation seem to be issues for a lot of programmers. Empire Total War was an utter joke in this respect when released.

I just got a new rig with a HD5970, so I'm guessing I'm covered....:D
