the three monitors. they said multi.... when i keept asking about the 3 screen gaming but they focused their awnser on two screens. one for minimap n such. and said you could "if"
you had a computer that would handle it.

Current estimate for me is about 250$ for new processor motherboard and RAM. Already got new power supply and graphics card months ago.

Here's hoping it will be enough!

Nothing yet but I'm replacing the graphics card and CPU just as soon as funds permit, so its gonna be in the region of around £400.

Don't know if it count though, because computers need upgrading from time to time, and if it wasn't PS2, it would be something else... Probably SimCity 5.

If beta really is next week though I'm just crossing fingers that it will run at all on what I have, if I get in early on the invites.... as good as it looks on full settings, its how far they let you scale it down that will determine how accessible it is to the masses.

Since we're on the topic of gaming rigs. What can I run Planetside 2 on with these rigs? I'm trying to decide which to buy.

And

Feel free to provide a link to something better. Has to be below $900.

I don't think so mate. The Athlon FX-57 is a single core 2.8Ghz CPU. I do believe you need a minimum dual-core processor to play BF3 (Core 2 Duo or Athlon X2). I think my processor would explode trying to load the first level of BF3. As a comparison... my FPS drop down below 40 in Planetside 1 when 10+ people are on the screen or in the same area.

I imagine the same will be true with Planetside 2.
