    OK, so here I am and I have ordered a new computer and I want to know a few things about some things... xD

    - 2GB DDR2 667Mhz RAM
    - nVidia GeFroce Go 7950 GTX 512MB
    - 17" Hi-Res WUXGA TFT Screen (1920 X 1200)
    - 160GB 7200rpm HDD
    - 8x +/- Dual Layer DVD Writer
    - Windows Vista Ultimate 32Bit

    Games:
    - Just Cause
    - Counter Strike Source
    - Trackmania Nations
    - Flight Simulator X
    - GTA San Andreas
    - GTA Vice City

    - Call of Duty 2
    - Battlefield 1942

    Questions:

    Good specs and all, however, the graphic card is not able to achieve Directx10...but if thats not a big deal to you, then its great! The graphic card that you have in this system should run the games very well. I do not know if all the games will run in Vista(32)...my guess would be that most of them will. The one i'm really looking forward to playing is FSX, when my laptop arrives in a couple of days. Overall, good system!

    Those are incredible specs! The only disadvantage is the non DX10 video card, which from your list of games, doesn't matter much. While I wouldn't hedge any bets, you might be able to switch cards to the 8800 gtx when it comes to the market.

    Mind telling us the model and the price(must be a lot~$2100+) :D
