ME2 should have similar requirements. May be time to upgrade the vid card, there are plenty of deals on good cards right now.

My vidcard (GeForce 8600GT 256MB) & RAM (3GB) should be good, it's my processor: DragonAge says it needs dual core, and all I got is Athlon64 3400+. From what I've read, ME2 is on the same engine as ME, right? I'm hoping that's the case...!

Pre-ordered BioShock2 today and then took a look at Dante's Inferno. It looks good but I think I will wait for reviews.

There is a demo available for Dante's Inferno on both xbox and ps3.. I was on the fence too, but after giving the demo a go I was sold. Plus it's made by the same studio that did Dead Space, doubt it will turn out bad.
