Up to date info on GPU and CPU

[Snowreap]

my wife is using a Core i7 920 with 6GB DDR3 and a 3GB GDDR5 Radeon HD 7970. she has everything set to maximum and it all runs fine. current Core i5 (Sandy Bridge) models should be just as good as (if not better than) the original i7 chips for gaming.

I'm using a Core 2 Quad Q9300 with 4GB DDR3 and a 1GB GDDR3 Radeon HD 4850. I have a lot of things set to low in order to maintain the frame rate I was previously getting with a 1GB GDDR5 Radeon HD 4870 set to medium/high (I had to remove the 4870 because it had some kind of Vsync glitch that was super annoying).

I tried running the game over the weekend using a Core 2 Duo E6400 with 2GB DDR2 and a 512MB GDDR3 Radeon HD 4850, and the game was unplayable (over a minute to load into zones, invisible avatar, other players not visible, etc.). I think the problem was insufficient memory, rather than things being too slow.
