If you are going stealthy, definitely go for the hardest difficulty. You die pretty quick, so it'd probably be hard to do a assault playthrough on, but I can't imagine playing stealthy on any other way. The danger accentuates the stealth.guynamedbilly

well...thnx all...i decided to give it a try....now for the trial....should i download the game from its homepage?

Yes, www.riftgame.com/

By the way, isn't the WoW clone argument getting really old already? I'm so tired to see it no matter what MMORPG we're talking about. Rift is a good game, if you are exhausted of the genre or never liked it, that's a different story.

Sorry, man. I am not stupid enough to pre-order games for obvious reasons, regardless of the money I save.

Really, BRO? You never heard of Google before?

Yeah, but really all that I was trying to say is that my (overclocked) X2 4600+ is far from holding me back as ElectricNZ said. WhiteSnake5000

Well here is the deal as far as I can tell.

If you expect to run high settings with current hardware. Even a e6600..you WILL need to overclock your CPU if you want it to be playable. So my thinking was, when I rudely responded to your post was that it WAS holding you back EVEN overclocked. Which I still believe.

Look, I have a Q6600 and an 8800 Ultra. I run the Q6600@3.6 GHz and I do not overclock the Ultra. Games today still can beat my system down at times, so I can only imagine that Crysis will be no different, especially for people with mid-range systems.

Look sorry I disrespected you. That wasn't necessary.

At stock it is only 20% lower, so you do have a point. I would note though that most e6600 overclock EASILY on stock cooling over 3.2 GHz which is massive if you consider it started at 2.4 GHz.

Just to clear up something.

Just because you can get the same MEGAHURTZ out of your processor does not mean it comes anywhere near the performance level of a core2duo.

You shouldn't even think that it would. If you need one example I will simply tell you to look at the MEGAHURTZ of video cards for you example. If you need another because you are not bright, then by your account I should have never upgraded from my 4 year old Pentium 4 3.0 GHz.

OK! Let me get this straight kid. You are not proclaiming that the you 64 X2 4600 can compete with a lets say e6600 C2D??

Just another note. Every AMD processor out at the moment gets completely stomped by Intel Core2Duo/Quad processors. You should enlighten yourself a little bit about benchmarks and such just so you can get up to speed on the current processors available.
