Forums - PC - Spore - Are you buying?!

As for the topic. I have it preorded. Sadly gamestop was the only place that i found that it could be preordered for. So chances are i'll get it a little late since the game releases on... sunday the 7th... i want to say and it seems like they get their shipments tuesday?

Hah sweet my computer passed. Thought for sure that crappy 6150 integrated chip wouldn't pass. Means i can hold off replacing that POS until L4D comes out.



I'll probably get it. Seems just too awesome to not have it.

I'm certain I will buy it, the required specs will determine when.

By the way, the system requirements are:

* FOR WINDOWS XP * 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
* * 512 MB RAM
* * A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
* * At least 6 GB of hard drive space

* FOR WINDOWS VISTA * 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
* * 768 MB RAM
* * A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
* * At least 6 GB of hard drive space

# For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires at least: * Intel Integrated Chipset, 945GM or above.
# * 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent.
# * 768 MB RAM

Supported Video Cards

* ATI Radeon(TM) series 9500, 9600, 9800
* X300, X600, X700, X800, X850
* X1300, X1600, X1800, X1900, X1950
* 2400, 2600, 2900,
* 3650, 3850

* NVIDIA GeForce series FX 5900, FX 5950

Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run comparatively slowly. Standalone cards that are installed in vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly. Intel integrated chipsets featuring underclocked parts, such as the 945GU, GML, and GMS, will not perform adequately.

Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants will have low settings selected, but should run satisfactorily.

Please note that attempting to play the game using video hardware that isn?t listed above may result in reduced performance, graphical issues or cause the game to not run at all.

The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.

At least 4.7GB of hard drive space for installation, plus additional space for creations.

This game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems (PowerMac).

* For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires at least: Intel Integrated Chipset GMA X3100
* Dual 2.0GHz CPUs, or 1.7GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent

* Supported Video Cards ATI Radeon(TM) series

* This game will not run on the GMA 950 class of integrated video cards.

Install space subject to change.

Hmm, I couldn't get the tool to work on my laptop (super slow connection at work) but looking at these specs I'm pretty sure I can run it.  I know I have a GeForce 6800 in there but I don't remember how fast my processor is.  I'm pretty sure it's over 2 but its been a long time since I thought of that.

Yes i will be getting it.I also loved the creature creator,and i cant wait to try out the full game.



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

I'm going to try and get it launch day. I've been waiting to get it ever since I started playing the creature creator. I learned about it after watching a video on youtube with Robin Williams making a creature himself.
