    Thanks. I was just curious. I just hope the medium setting doesn't ruin the fun of the game.

    Yeah, Il2 1946 will breeze on that, most others too. But no crysis at max!

    You can play any game out on the market at at least medium settings.

    Thanks for that link. It is really a darn good link. Oh, btw is there not a tweak program or guide that one can do to get the best out of playing games?
