It is funny people still say $2,000 computer. A 2 grand system is pretty crazy these days. The system I am on is a 2.8ghz p4, 1.5gb ram (system was bought over 2 years ago for < $750 from Dell) and a 128mb AGP (no PCI-E here) Video card that was $150 3 years ago (so not top of the line then). No issues here with speed.
I cannot even play Supreme Commander due to the age of my video card

From what I've looked into if you even want to sneeze at the newer games coming out you need to invest at LEAST $2000. |

Re: Vote: Who is still playing SEV ?
I don't know about that. I could buy a $150 video card for my system now and be able to play the latest games. You don't need dual/quad core for any games, you don't need SLI cards that cost $500.
For example. Vanguard Saga of Heroes is a new WoW kinda game that is supposed to be pretty hefty with the graphics:
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel processor or 2400+ or higher model AMD processor
512 MB RAM
Vertex and Pixel Shader 2.0 compatible hardware with 128MB of texture memory
16X Speed DVD-ROM
20 Gigabytes Hard Drive Space
My 2+ year old cheap system just needs a new video card for it. That is the minimum, I probably would need a new system to play with the Max settings, but I certainly could play it.

Interesting. I've been debating on planning my next machine sometime soon. I might consult you guys first.

Not really. You only need a $2,000 system to play them at gigantic resolutions and max settings.

I built mine for $800 (guts only- no case/KB/mouse/monitor, those were re-used) a year ago, and it still runs every game I've thrown at it fine. Including Supreme Commander, at 1280x1024 mid detail..

Re: Vote: Who is still playing SEV ?
My video card just doesn't support the pixel shader Supreme Commander uses :/ That game looks really good though.

Bought mine in October 06 for about 1700 $. Plays Supcom at 1280 * 1024 just fine.
