    I am considering buy Blacklight for the pc, but I dont know if my pc meets the requirments. On one site is says that I need,
    OS: Windows® XP, Vista, or 7
    Processor: Dual Core Processor
    RAM: 1 GB
    Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compliant sound card
    Hard Drive: 2 GB or more
    Video Card: ATI x1800+ / Nvidia 6800+

    Another on says
    I need 2gbs of ram, and I need a dual core proccesor.

    I have 4gbs of ram and a 2.53Ghz proccesor. And my graphics card is a Nvidia 9600m GT.


    Will I able to play it smoothly or will it be like a laggy POS like Gta 4 on pc. Or should I just buy it for the ecksbawks (xbox)

    GPU should be fine, you have the RAM, so it sounds like your CPU is single core? Is it a Core 2 Solo or variation of Pentium 4?

    What do you mean you don't have the right processor? By dual core, they mean CPU with two cores, which yours does. Dual Core Processor is just a generic term.

    If yours is a 2.53GHz dual core Intel or AMD it should run just fine.

    You must mean Core Duo. That's just Intel's marketing name. It means it's a dual core CPU. There's Core Solo for single core, Core Duo for dual core. They later revised their chip designs and called them Core 2 Solo and Core 2 Duo. Duo just means there's two cores.
