Can you run it?
Have you ever purchased a computer based game only to try and load it to no avail? I think everyone has at some point. Either your graphics card is not heavy enough for the load or your system just doesnt cut the mustard for speed. Well now there is actually a website that will take off of your system specs and compare it to the system requirements for a particular game and tell you whether or not a particular part of your system needs upgrading to meet the requirements.
This great site is called System Requirements Lab. The service support everything from Windows 98 up to Vista so everyone should be covered. The best part is that its FREE. You just have to give them permission to download an ActiveC/Java browser component that will do the analyzing of your hardware for you. Very simple and very easy to use. If your planning to buy any computer based games this is a lifesaver, who wants to be disappointed after they have gone out and purchased a game only to not be able to play it once you get it home? Save yourself some headache and heartache!
