put the name of the game in the box and click analize and it will scan your computer and it will tell you if your system will run the game.

Cool find One. 8) 8)

My system at work appears to be able to run most of the current games out on the market today. However, the system is not at or beyond the "Required" recomendation. At least its not close to the "Minimum" requirements! :D
I'll go home and check my system at home.......more than likley , the program will find that i'm gonna require some major upgrades there!! :(
Actually "major" would be a understatment, I'll required a whole new computer.

Oh Nameless. LOL! You are possibly the most paranoid person here. LOL. Future Mark is the old Mad Onion. Who Mad Onion right? They are they people who created the 3DMark benchmarking program. It is the world's most recognized benchmarking software for gaming PCs. If I'm wrong, it's only SiSoft Sandra who might be a better known benchmark. Have you ever used 3DMark? If not, go get it from www. futuremark.com . Make sure you get the 2001se version and install the patch to it too. Then make sure you run the demo. It is my favorite of all time. When it ask for disk 2 just sit there and wait for 15 seconds and it (the demo) will continue. When you first double click the launch file to start up 3DMark a little screen will appear after 10 seconds. Then a bigger one for settings. Just click the demo button. It will ask to change your setting to 640 x 480 for the demo. Say YES! Let me know what you think. Turn up your sound loud too for the demo as the music is awesome.

OK, can you give me a direct link to this demo you're talking about? I'm not sure what you mean, or what its name is. :?:

---------------

Oh yes, and my score came out to the sixth green bar from the right, which makes my system 5 bars away from the ideal system specs. It appears that the only thing I need is a vid card with twice the onboard memory. :|

Do the following:

Go here and download and install the but don't launch the program called 3DMark2001 SE (330):

http://www.futuremark.com/download/?3dmark2001.shtml

Now, go here and download the patch and install it but read this whole thing before you start it:

http://www.futuremark.com/download/?3dm ... atch.shtml

Now that you have the program and the patch installed, start the program by going to "start, programs, MadOnion.com, 3DMark2001 and finally, 3DMark 2001 (again).

After about 5-10 seconds, you will see a red splash screen for MadOnion.com 3DMark2001.

After the splash screen appears a settings window will open. Don't change anything or do anything except click on the button for "Demo". A window will pop up suggesting you run the demo in 640 X 480 resolution. Click "YES".

The demo will run for a little few minutes and then stop and ask you to "Insert Disk Two". Don't do anything. Just wait. It will continue to a very cool Matrix-type scene. Once that scene is over the credits will start to roll. That's when it's actually done and you can hit the escape key to exit the program. Don't stop there though. Start 3DMark again but this time select "Benchmark" instead of "Demo". Don't make any changes or anything before you hit "Benchmark". It will run through about 15-17 test. You don't have to do anything during this time but wait. You are waiting for a window that will pop up and score your PC's MultiMedia ability. Be sure to tell us what your score was. I usually get about 9,800. The score can vary about 200 points each time you run it.

Let us know what you think. Later!
