How can someone tell you if youre equipment will run a game when no one's played the game?

well, since i've read taht these games will be for high end computers only, do u guys think its good enuff?

only worry when the game is out.

The cpu will run just fine with those games. You need to be more interested in a good graphics card.

You could always overclock it via the FSB 😉

It should be fine I have played the HL2 Beta with mine and it is certainly not CPU limited by any means of course this was also at 2.4Ghz. If it ends up being slow on that system which I doubt it will it should be easy enough to OC at least a little bit.

Should be fine.

As formulav8 said though, the most important bit is your video card.

Get a Geforce 6800 Ultra and you shouldn't need to worry.
