As you all should know by now, the demo is rumoured to be out this week. Virtually all of the information released one way or another from various EA sources around the globe points to Friday 10th June.

If you want to be one of the first to know when it's available to download, sign up on our forums and we will e-mail you as soon as it's released. If you are not already a member, <b>register now!</b>

In other news, the speed of the site should be a bit quicker now and our Top 100 list is also back up.</Q>

I am glad I am on a 10Gig account. I wonder if SgS will host it on filefault?

Damn you wisecrack !! he he

 

[WiseCrack]

lol...I saw on the site I was refering to in my post above that a guy from the UK were complaining about how he is only getting 300kb/s on his line and how he hopes the demo wont be to big to downlowd, because BT have not yet fixed his line. I mean honestly what is he complaining about? I wanted to post that I only get 40kb/s on dsl384 but did not as I was afraid he would not be able to reply while laughing himself to death.

 

[craigsa]

"once and for all: (correct me if this wrong)

step 1: identify your system

OS
Windows XP only (Win 2000 and WinME not supported)

internet connection: (only for multiplayer)
Broadband Internet connection(dial-up will not work)

Processor

AMD xp
1500+ very low settings
1800+ low settings
2000+ low-mid settings
2400+ mid settings
2600+ mid settings
2800+ mid-high settings
3000+ high settings

AMD 64
2800+ mid-high settings
3000+ high settings
3200+ high settings
3400+ high settings
3600+ and above insane settings

intel p4

1.5 very low settings
1.6 very low settings
1.8 low settings
2.0 low settings
2.4 mid settings
2.8 mid-high settings
3.0 high settings
3.2 high settings
3.4 high settings
3.6 and above insane settings

RAM

256mb very low settings
512mb mid-low settings
1GB high settings
1.5gb high settings
2GB insane settings

Video Cards

9000 low settings
9200 se low settings

9800 pro mid-high settings
x700 pro mid-high settings
9800 pro 256mb med-high settings

6600 mid settings
6600 256mb mid settings
6600 gt mid-high settings
6600 gt 256mb high settings
6800 and above insane settings

step 2: do the math

if you have a low processor and a mid ram and low video card: low+mid+low= low settings

low+low+high:low
low+mid+[high,insane]:mid-low
mid+mid+low: mid-low settings
mid+mid+mid: mid settings
high+mid+mid: mid settings
high+high+mid: mid-high settings
high+high+high: high settings
insane+high+high: high settings
insane+insane+insane: give me your computer

thanks

 

[rburley]

thanks...


now can anyone please sponsor me 2Gb of RAM

 

[Perdition]

2 gigs really is an insane amount of memory for current games. I doubt insane settings are much better than high settings, much like ultra high quality in Doom 3 isn't much better than high quality.
