Seems that your prediction was true!

I am not surprised.

What are prices like in other countries ? In australia an average PciE 8800 graphics card , 2 gigs of ram , an 6600 core 2 duo cpu and a good motherboard and a descent case with 550watt power is about $2000 ($1572usd)plus extra to assemble . Plus other stuff i havnt thought of .

not bad

I think a core 2 duo cpu is a very smart move for SH4. Even a high end P4 processor will struggle a little ( in the most demanding battle scenarios) running with a good video card and 2 GIGs of RAM.

I dont know what prices are in the rest of the world, but I just bought a 6600 core 2 duo for about 330 euro.

Q: TheRealPotoroo: Will SH4 be multithreaded?
A: There are separate threads for minor tasks in the game, so there will be SOME improvement in running a multiprocessor machine.

Not that important, then. But I`ll take any improvement I can get.
