Search the game you want to play and click it then press the Can you run it icon under the game box image. Just follow the simple steps and by the end of it you have your specs if you can play it, pass the minimum report, knock yourself out and try it, pass the recommended report, you can play this without problems.
If you dont pass the minimum, well dont try it, dont pass the recommended, well alll I can say is if your close to being a recommended, go ahead and try it.
I'll try to find any other leads similar to this. Enjoy
Forewarn, that some games may not appear on the list such as Guild Wars.
btw, no spamming here please or anything off-topic or stupid like: wheres murloc RPG? as this is for PC gaming, not flash or anything.
These are the terms to whoever doesnt know what specs means. Such as CPU. I just make a short one explaining what each do without going too far in it. I may be wrong on the CPU part, but some of it is right or all of it.
Terms:
CPU: Core Process Unit
-In otherwords, your pentium and and the speed of clockticks per second.
CPU Speed: This means how fast the clockticks or Ghz (Gigahertz) or Mhz (megahertz) per second. The higher the numner, the better.
System RAM: This is you Random Access Memory where it shows how fast your computer goes. The more RAM there is, the faster. The minimum for most games I say is 512RAM, 1gig of RAM is recommended. The best kind of RAM is DDRRAM or something like that
Operating System (A.K.A OS): This tells you your operating system like Windows XP. Some games will be available for certain OS like the near future Halo2 for PC which is only for Windows Vista.
Video Card: You graphic card where most of your gaming graphics come from. The 2 best video card companies (I think) are Nvidia or Ati.
Video Card Features: The things that the video card can do to make the game look as sick and nice as possible.
-Video RAM: I think the System RAM is the same with the Video RAM
-Video Card 3D Acceleration: I think this is when the video card allows advanced graphic options.
-Video HW Transform & Lighting: I think this is for lights and texture.
Pixel Shader: Well a pixel is like a cube, and the shader, well shades the cube. I think its used for color shadings and shadows.
-Video Card Driver Version (DirectX): I've never got caught up on the versions, but for DirectX, just get it thats above DirectX9.0 something
-DirectX Version: Your directX that allows 3D renderings. The higher it is, the better the 3D graphics.
-Sound Card: Well...I've never learned bout these yet
-Free Disk Space: Well the space you have left.
remember: 1000byte=1kilobyte (KB) 1000kilobyte=1 Megabyte (MB) 1000megabyte=1gigabyte (GB) 1000gigabyte=1 terabyte (TB)
CD ROM: This shows how fast the computer reads or spins the disc.
