    Have any of you tried that option on NVIDIA's site that tests your system to check if you can play a particular game? I was told that my E1705 (1.83 Core Duo, 256mb GeForce 7800) would not be able to run games such as Battlefield 2 and FEAR due to my CPU. What's up with that? I play both of those with no problems....does their system not recognize the CPU or something? I'd be interested to see if other Core Duo owners have seen this...

    Yeah, it's probably an old hardware detection program that doesn't recognize Core Duo.
    I guess nVidia has some updating to do :)

    Well, I'm sure that if it was true and you couldn't run the games, we'd hear about it by now. You'll be fine. :)
