    * 512 MB RAM
    * 5.3 GB hard disk space
    * DirectX 9.0c compatible 64 MB graphics card with one of these chipsets Radeon 8500; GeForce 4 Ti

    yea

    pro street was pure garbage that EA just wanted to cash in on NFS brand

    i think carbon was better than MW.

    mainly cause you race at night and not looking at brown all the time as you do in MW

    the carrera GT > ALL

    i like the maclaren, but handles like a log :(

    yeah the brown in most wanted was really what drove me away. although the drifting in carbon had pretty unrealistic controls.

    I KNOW!!!

    the drifting was just wack

    thank god they let you skip those and just do the real racing stuff (yes, i know its not GTR 2 real)

    the tenge was a weird change, okay overall

    too bad they don't have the drags anymore, they were quite fun imo
