m@ttz, it says your system is below recommended because you've got a nVidia card

ahem, looks at your sig

[acidrainy]

Phew, looks like the old girl will make it!

[Kezzer]

ahem, looks at your sig

Yeh, and? I was just stating that it told you that because of your card, it did the same for me.

so is it twenty minutes till some of those across the pond lads get to play it?
how depressing
is that thing lying then guys about the 6800ultras not being able to run it above recommended specs? because its nvidia, if it isnt im a bit bummer because i wanna get a 6600gt agp! ffs

I hope steam has a good network, I should imagine a lot of peple are gonna flood their servers wanting to activate.

[TeePee]

Nope. It's 8 hours until people worldwide get to play it. People accross the pond do get to play it at midnight, but right now it's 4 in the afternoon for them!

I heard 2million people have pre-ordered/loaded on steam, and im guessing at least half a million of them will be up at 8am GMT ready to activate it.

Thats 500,000 simultaneous connections at least

[TeePee]

My alarm is set for 0745.

umm... Did you look at how my system scored? Mine is way above the recomended... And I have a nvidia too... Also looks like mine scored the highest out of all of yours by a long shot!

I couldn't get the app to work, firewall blocked it or something, but if an overclocked X800XT-PE, an Athlon 64 running at stock FX-55 speeds and a gig of Corsair PC4400 isn't good enough, then I'll eat Myth's hat (and my own).

Right, now I'm off to read the (dodgy) Gamespot and (much better) IGN.com reviews. Not long now!

Don't look to me for screenshots either, once I'm in, I'm staying in for a while. (Where have I heard that before? You'd think I'd be able to find a girlfriend really...)
