    CS: Source, HL2, and Bf 2142 on an A8Js w/ 2 gigs of RAM.

    How do you think these games will do on the A8Js with 2 gigs of RAM?

    I play all three of those games on that exact setup... as mentioned before, HL2 runs really well at native resolution (and very similar performance with CS:S, since it's based off of the same engine). Battlefield 2142 runs at >30 FPS with most settings on high except for dynamic shadows and lighting, although at 1152x864... ES decided not to allow native widescreen support, for some reason.

    It will run CSS and HL2 with settings maxed. For BF2124 your going to have to turn down some settings for it to run at a playable FPS but it will play fine on your Nvidia 7700 512MB card.

    Think that setup that I listed above will be able to play any new computer games coming out? Such as Spore or Crysis?
