Ive seen that before and its pretty cool. I didnt see Oblivion on it though which is the game everyone is asking about ATM.

I assure you, its there. Try looking for "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - PC" I passed in minimum as well as recommended.

Yeah it is, i see it now. Funny thing is, when i took the test, i failed the recommended specs. I have maxed out everything else but my cpu speed is just too slow even though its at 2.8ghz. Everything else is fine though.

yeah that thing doesn't seem to be that accuarate. I passed all minimun and recommended requirements for HL2 exept the cpu. WTF I have an AMD Sempron 64 2800+ Palermo..... the min requirement is only a PIII!!!!!:freak:

it's because it's CPU's are based off of Intels clock speeds not AMDs. Any time you see that on games, it's based on Intels. Yours is 'kind of' like a 2.8GHz Intel of a similar core and whatnot so obviously you'd pass the CPU part of that. Just like I failed on oblivions recommended because it wants a 3GHz CPU.......AMD doesn't even make a 3GHz CPU lol, so that tells you it's Intel they are basing it off of.

The only thing that i fail in the recommended is the cpu part, but i really have intel p4 so its that much worse.(2.4ghz)

Thats what i was thinking. What about the OS part? I almost didnt pass that test on another game even though im using XP home. That shouldnt really make a difference, should it?

Depending on what service pack it might.

Thats because the recommended is technically in this order: "2000/xp/xp64"

All thats saying is xp64 would be the best but all you have is xp... I dont think it has anything to do with performance.
