    World in Conflict beta is still going on? The 6400 might run it....not too sure about that though. Don't know of any drivers.

    Ahh the open beta. I was in the closed then. I personally wasn't too happy with it, because I have always wanted a combination RTS, and it just wasn't anything like what I would have wanted.

    It's an alright game in it's own right I suppose /shrug. It has heavy graphics on the high end, but it seemed to scale well, which is why I can't say for sure if the 6400Go will do the job.

    Wouldn't be the BEST graphics but I recon it should just about do it I think. Don't quote me though - I'm really not too sure.

    grr i was so exited about this game
    then i got chosen out of a drawing for 1000 beta keys

    so i download it ,im all exited ,boot it up and guess what ?
    the performance is absolutely terrible :(
    so i lower the settings to 1280x1024 medium settings still runs horribly
    so i lower the setting to low as they can go ,and although it runs better its still not that great

    so i hope they get some serious optimizing done before its released

    Nooo, not in the least. It's like an RTS, except you just control a smaller group of units from a specific area of combat, while other people on your team control other stuff.

    There is no base building or resource management in the game, it's generally just like a deathmatch kind of deal, though you do capture/defend certain areas, couple of ways too play.
