| People still play that game? Damn, I remember when it first came out. BTW, my P3 computer with a TNT2 video card ran it just fine. |

its that old? it's dragoon rising, maybe a newer version? or not? supposed to be a good game, i like war games shooting, ect.. but im not really a gamer type..
Im buying that graphics card because it's the recommended card for that game on the box and i dont see what else it could be.. I have a intel dual core 6.0ghz cpu, 3gb ddr2 ram, 1tb hdd but my graphics is onboard |

Ah, holy crap. Shows how much I pay attention to Windows games. The original was developed by Bohemia Interactive back in 2001. Dragoon Rising was developed by Codemasters and is "not to be regarded as a sequel."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_flashpoint
EDIT: Might I suggest Delta Force: Blackhawk Down. That one was, in my opinion, one of the best military-based FPS's ever. The single player missions were a blast and the multiplayer games were just so damn fun. In multiplayer, the maps are endless in size, so, for me being a sniper, was just awesome. Going out 1500+ meters and shooting at black pixels (literally, they would be about the size of a 4x4 black pixel on in the scope) provided a challenge and yet you would still be in danger because other people can just run around you and get you from behind without you knowing.
Also check out Enemy Territory: Quake Wars for a futuristic military-based FPS and also Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory for a WW2 esque FPS. |

| Iv played the original and have started playing the new one. First it looks like a high rez playstation game its kinda hard to look at. It also has no fucking saving just checkpoints (this is on pc btw). Personally id say get ARMA 2 with the patches its way better made by the original operation flashpoint devs, and actually made for pc and not just ported. But if you do get ARMA 2 make sure to patch completely first because the game was released so broken you cant even play a third of it because they just fail at programming etc. |

3.0 dual core? So there's two cores?...so.....so....so...I guess I just multiply the 3 by 2, since there's two cores....Hey! I have a 6.0Ghz Processor! WooHoo! |

I'm going by what it said when I baught the motherboard and CPU from PC World, and that is "Intel dual core 6.0ghz" yes, 2 cores at 3ghz each = 6ghz i still dont see the problem in saying what it is :S |

| That's not how it works AT ALL. It's impossible for an application to be perfectly threaded, you will never see double performance with a dual core over a single core. |

No, you're using an E8400, which is 3.0GHz. Yes, building PCs is extremely easy.
6.0GHz is only achieved through very extreme OC'ing measures. |

| When you reference the clock speed of your CPU, you only use the speed of one core, you do not multiply it out. Shows how much the people at the computer store know. |
