    Dell does read these forums. No surprise they took stuff from our members.

    Funny part is how we know more about their computers than them.

    Looks like Dell copy pasted Slickdude's comments as well.

    "No texture issues, solid 60 FPS."

    lol...you think i can get a free laptop out of this :D

    I'm only kiddin. This info was out there for a while...this technique of forcing certain opengl drivers different from those downloaded in the driver package has been around a long time, so i can't take credit for what dell posted

    don't waste your money. The concept was good but poorly executed. The game was very short with an unsatisfying story line. I thought multiplayer would be cool but it's only racing, no first person shooter.

    He summed it up pretty well. I was disappointed with the ending.
