    Hi,

    I'm thinking about getting Bioshock, here are my XPS 16's specs:

    1GB ATI Radeon HD 4670
    Intel Core 2 Duo P8700(2.53GHz,1066MHz,3MB)
    Memory : 4096MB (2x2048) 1067MHz DDR3 Dual Channel

    Will this do? Thank you!

    Yes, it will do fine.

    Ran almost flawless on my old Precision m90 with CoreDuo 2Ghz, 2GB, Quadro FX2500m

    Hi, I have almost the same specs as yours, and I can play Bioshock 2 with the most of the settings set to on.

    I think it will perform better in Bioshock 1. :)

    I run Bioshock 1 at all max settings at 1600x900 just fine, no lag or throttling. The 4670 is only slightly slower, so you shouldn't have any problems, unless you got one of the 1640s that throttles real bad.
