Well thanks for all your replies. Its weird there are some people that say that it runs fine on systems like a Barton 2500+ with a GeForce TI4400. Which is weird since there are some people that have P4 @ 3.0 GHz with 9800XT that lag like crazy. It doesnt really make much sense.
Oh well.....i am looking forward the full verison of Painkiller since the grpahics are better and runs nearly perfect on almost everybodys machiene :-)
