I haven't bought the computer yet so. http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Category/guidedSearch.asp?CatId=22&sel=Detail;112_174_53260_53260 Only these processors (LGA 1156) will fit that P55 motherboard. The i7 930 is LGA 1366 so it will require an X58 motherboard. If you decide to stick with the i7 930 and get an X58 motherboard I recommend getting 6GB of RAM instead of 4.

Razzamatazz 0 Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) Yes that is a good processor. However if you do decide to get that one, buy it from Newegg: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116368 Same thing, but $50 cheaper. Also, here's a link to a good CPU cooler: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186134 It is more than capable of keeping the CPU cool at stock speeds. It should keep it reasonably cool if you ever decide to overclock also. EDIT: How big is your case? That CPU cooler is pretty large so you'll need a case wide enough to install it in. Looking at the measurements on newegg it'll stick out of your motherboard by 126.5 mm (or nearly 5 inches). Edited July 9, 2010 by Razzamatazz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jsa2001 10 Posted July 9, 2010 I've given up the thought of upgrading my pc so i can run this game in optimal settings. Dont want to risk spending a ton of money for a few extra fps only having it drop when the screen gets busy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

echo1 0 Posted July 9, 2010 If you have 7 or Vista, you can contact MS and get a license to go from 32bit to 64bit. AFAIK, it costs something like $10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, and it needs to fit into my 7" wide pc case. Also, what do I need to know when switching the graphics card? How do I make sure the GPU is compatible with my old setup?

bascule42 10 Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) Was very disappoited to find the AO would run on my system...still, plus side is, I get an excuse to buy some new stuff. My current system falls just short with a AMD 64 X 2 Dual Core 5200+, (minimum I belive is 6000+) This is what I was thinking. (Cant be spending too much at the mo). AMD Phenom II X 4 3.2GHz 4GB Ram HD 4870 1GB, (My current card, cant afford new GPU right now). Win7 64bit. My question is: Guys will this run OA at a reasonably smooth framerate? Cheers.

I think that computer will be able to handle it pretty well. If you look up my current specs (above), I can run Arma 2 with Medium/High settings (no AA) at around 30 fps.

Vultar 0 Posted July 11, 2010 Hey there guys, got a question. I am getting some new stuff for OA, could you tell me if it's good or not, or maybe recommend something, of course at the same price. Intel Core i5 750, 2,66 GHz Geforce GTS 250 4gb RAM 1333 MHz Win7 64bit And of course, if possible, how will this run OA? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to upgrade my pc to an i7 but i'm not going to bother because i dont think any pc will run this game well.. thats just my opinion.

Ive spent more time in here trying to solve issues than playing the game itself honestly. ditto. especially when I can only download files at 50 kbs here in Iraq. Doesnt put me off though. Goes to show how good the game really is. to the poster above you should be able to run it on low/medium settings with less than 2000 view distance fine.

If someone would come in here and say to me this is my rig and i can run the game at full settings without lag or slow down i would upgrade just for the game. I only use the editor to make staged cut scenes now that are not complicated to where my system starts to crawl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vultar 0 Posted July 11, 2010 Ok I need more information about the game's reqs. Are OA reqs Higher than those of Splinter Cell Conviction? Or Gta4? Because I know people running both of aforementioned on 'highest' with great fps. If you say OA is going to run on Low/Medium, while Conviction runs on very high, then maybe it's the game, that is unoptimised and not worthy of my cash? (no offense) I remember running Arma1 on 'full' on 'GF 9600GT', how come OA has such reqs without a "big change in graphics, to be honest"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
