No. System always list Intel offerings as default. Not sure why though. Its not to say x2 cant handle it.

Take a look at my system specs.

Now think why I'm getting this for the 360

It's interesting that you need an internet connection for activation. Maybe it will work like steam to avoid piracy.

it was just a moment of sarcasm.. thank you very much..

[roorooroo]

Specs like these make me understand why 360 owners smile when they see them. (PC & 360 owner)

8800? if i where you i would wait forthe second generation dx10 cards because there are new dx10 game benchmarks leaking around the net and teh performance on a 8800 and on the new ATI cards are very bad.

its no surprise realy has it is the first of its kind

And like everyone has mentioned. buy a 360 and your sorted

[roorooroo]

Spoke too soon...lol..3 red lights greeted me when I turned my 360 on tonight...how lovely...

[Veles]

I hope when they say requires internet activation they're talking about bringing it over via steam.

To all those recommending a 360 instead:

Those recommended settings for the PC version are so that it can be played at twice (+) the resolution of the 360 version with much better quality of graphics as well.

If you want to play the game the way it's meant to be played, it's got to be the PC everytime.
