They will be if it doesn't run!

I've got an Athlon XP 3000+ backed up with 1GB of DDR400 RAM, and a 6600GT.

This is a BEAST of a game. I need to seriously upgrade my PC to get the best out of it.

Damn shame Gordon Brown got rid of the HCI scheme, my company did some cracking deals last year, and would have done so again this year. My PC woes would have been sorted.
