Will you Upgrade for PS2?


How many of you will upgrade your computer for PS2?

I currently have a Geforce 8400GS and E6600 Dual Core with 2GB Ram and I doupt I will be able to enjoy PS2 very mutch...

I think to remember that they said PS2 will support 2-3 year old Computers though.

Nahh, my PC is heavily upgraded already. I have no doubt I can play it with my current rig, but I'll have to wait for the system specs for high detail. I've got a quad-core w/4 GBs of RAM and a HD5870.

According to the panel, the game will be optimized for systems 4-5 years old.

I giggle at the thought that Planetside 2 will run better than Planetside 1 on my computer.

But if things don't go according to plan I might consider upgrading my computer for it. Assuming it's not a BF clone that doesn't resemble PS in the slightest.

Probably next year, until then an E6850 with an HD 4870 will have to do (and I guess it should!)

Any upgrade you got right now wouldn't be any huge improvement. i7 950 to what, a 2600k? Not sure why you'd want more RAM maybe 8GB if you got a dual channel Mobo. Maybe SLI/Crossfire two GTX 580s or another 5970 in there.

You just wanted a reason to post your specs and I'm jealous. :/

Can you even run anything on that 8400? Dear god that is a low end card from 2006 or so. Highly doubtful you get anything more then 5 FPS on the lowest settings. Back then the 8500 GT was a minimum for games, but that even lagged behind at its release.

I had to upgrade my laptop since my old one was nearing it's 6 year mark and really showing its age. My current setup is here. Honestly if anyone was going to upgrade I'd wait for the Ivy Bridge. Serious improvements in technology.

16 GBs is pretty standard right now for new computers. My laptop and 3 of my friend's desktops have 16 GB now. RAM is dirt cheap though.
