I have a fairly good setup (a dual-core processor, 2 gigs of RAM), but I think a slight achilles heel in my case will be my video card - a 128mb GeForce 6800OC. It's perhaps the best as far as you can get with 128mb cards, but still a 128mb. I know SHIV will run, but I'm curious how it'll do with the settings. My sense is that I probably won't be able to run it on full detail until upgrading - and an upgrade wouldn't make sense now; I plan to get a PCI-E system within a year and buying a new AGP card just wouldn't make sense now (to me being on a budget, anyway).

Ah well? :hmm:
