I ran a test to see what the min specs where in crysis 2 and this happened:

So because I meet the minimum RAM requirement my pc fails?

Now there is a peice of coding genius.

1191990 2011-04-04 21:01:00 it says vista, and therefore presumably windows 7 needs 3GB and you have 2, perhaps they could make it a little more obvious but it seems accurate enough to me dugimodo (138)
1191991 2011-04-04 22:11:00 It specifically says 3GB for Vista, which to me infers Windows 7 as well. Your PC doesn't meet the requirements, therefore it fails. :rolleyes:

You have 64-bit Windows 7, RAM is cheap enough, so you may as well upgrade anyway.

1191992 2011-04-04 22:41:00 yeah, your cards not bad, the CPU is good and you have only 2GB??!!! Hell I have 8. I'd have more except the board will only support up to 12 and I can't buy 4 x 3GB modules. pctek (84)
1191993 2011-04-04 23:50:00 RAM, that relatively cheap stuff that you cram into your computer as a bragging right :D The Error Guy (14052)
1191994 2011-04-04 23:54:00 RAM, that relatively cheap stuff that you cram into your computer as a bragging right :D

Doesn't always work though, so on my netbook I use the USB 3.0 and HDMI ports, and the Nvidia Ion, as bragging rights :p

I agree, x64 runs best on 6Gb+, you have the min!

I just got 8Gb for $200

Yes I know and if I want 4 x 4GB I'd have to change the board.........next time....
