I'm a fan of the Neverwinter Nights PC game, and NWN2 has just been released. Now the PC that I use to game on is running under the Athlon XP technology, so I was wondering if my PC really meets the specs to play this game well. On a forum, I saw a link to a site (System Requirements Labs) that runs a small activeX componant and tests your PC, then lets you know graphicly where your PC stands on a wide variety of games. I found it pretty useful. If you want to give it a try, please c...

It wont be supported under Windows XP, but only under Windows Vista. I think this is something of a raw deal, seeing as though many many PC users of halo have been waiting for the release of Halo 2 since it was released for XBOX. Why wouls MS do this to us faithful Halo gamers who have been squ...
