Its funny. canyourunit.com shows that i pass the minimum but fail on the recommended simply because my processor speed is too slow. I guess it shows how these days it doesnt matter how fast it is, but how many processors you have.
With DirectX 10 almost all rendering pipeline has now been offloaded to the graphics card, so for sheer graphics the CPU is becoming almost irrelevent. There's still the physics engine and AI to run on the CPU, although physics is now being shifted over to the GPU too...
