    Ridiculously low settings and resolution might work. Weak DX9 cards aren't going to run something like Bioshock well.

    Yes it will definitely work but only at a steady, decent FPS at something bordering lowest settings.

    It should, but probably low-medium for your best performance.

    you should be fine, i can play at high settings @1400x900 on my desktop on high, with a athlon 3000+ 1.5ram(333) and a 7600 gs(agp) game runs smooth.

    Honestly, where do people come up with these absurd claims :rolleyes:?

    High settings at 1440 x 900 (I assume he meant 1440, not 1400) with a 7600 GS? What a joke... unless it's overclocked to the max with liquid nitrogen cooling :D.
