The only direct benefit to any user is the ability to use 4GB RAM properly. Apart from that, 64-bit doesn't offer much to the average user.

Sky, the first and perhaps only thing I'd look to replace is the graphics card. Maybe the CPU would struggle with high TC, but I'd wait and see how it runs first.

Time compression; speeding up time during gameplay. The higher you go, the more demanding it is on the CPU.

Default SH5 specs

My computer can run COD modern warfare 2 at the highest settings,so it should run SH5.I have a AMD Phenom11 720 triple core black edition running at 3.6GHz,4 gigs of 1066MHz memory,8800GT OC video card,and 550 watt power supply. My moniter resolution is 1920 X 1080. Hope this helps someone to benchmark the game.

as stated in the first post all that really matters is you will need:

3ghz dual core cpu (which should equal a 1.5ghz quad)
2gb ram (but 4gb is what i expect you will really need)
a 4850 or 8800gt or better video card with 512mb of onboard ram (but 1gb of onboard ram is what i expect you will really need)

if you have that, it "should" be good enough to run the game on minimum settings or maybe medium settings if you have 4gb ram and 1gb onboard video ram.

now the only way to judge what you will really need for high or even max video settings is to wait until you can play the game

they were not even close with the specs they gave for sh3 or sh4 so im guessing they will be underestimating what you need for sh5 as well

Well, there's always the "Can you run it?" test from the System Requirements Lab website.

I would wait but Christmas is the best time of the year to buy something I suppose.

Also March is a long time to wait personally.

Nvidia should be coming out with their new series before SH5 release, could see price-cuts across the boards for both camps.

But if it has to be now, a 9800GT or HD 4770 would make a good choice (the Radeon being a bit faster). Below that, and you get a lot less bang for the buck. Anything above you'll need to decide for yourself.

Only if you deposit a respectable sum in my bankaccount.

Yeah, that should do nicely.

Poser... I would think you can play SH5 and watch fullHD movies at the same time with that rig.

Indeed, a repository of wisdom, by our learned member. When one posts hi tech stats and plays dim, it craves a desire of smugness.
