I have a dual core AMD4000 and an X1800 card and it plays great.

I have a AMD X2 and I had to disable one core for SE5 to work (the other core is still active, but SE5 isn't allowed to see it). Other than that, it works fine. I have Geforce 7600.

Any idea if you have to do the same for an Intel Core 2 Duo?

I have an Intel dual core laptop- I'll try sticking the demo on that and see how it goes.

Its the older generation, though. (Core Duo, not Core 2 Duo).

At the moment I play the demo on a Pentium 4 3.0 ghz machine with a Radeon 9800 Pro. I have some flashing problems at times but otherwise it runs pretty well.

I might be buying a new computer with an E6600 core 2 duo and probably a BFG 7950 GT, so any info would be a great help.

I remember when I went from a Pentium II Win98, to a Pentium IV WinXP, and SEIV ran slower! Don't want that to happen again.

Just a note- I have been trying out the demo on various pc's 2 laptops and a desktop so far. I noticed on the desktop- The screen resolution is 1024x768. I used the game setup to play at 1280x1024.

The game plays fine. Except when you minimize the game, the monitor goes back to 1024x768. Then maximize the game. 1280x1024. Everything looks ok until you open any game window. Game minimizes and resets the screen to 1024x768. Cannot escape or close the game when the game is up. I minimized it and closed it thru right click on the task bar. And get an access violation every time.

It may be the particular configuration of that pc- Don't have the general info at hand atm.
