Hi all, not sure if this is the right forum to ask but here goes. I`m playing BTS on my ol`system, Pentium 4 Celron, Nvidia 6600GT card, 2 Gig RAM, Windows XP. I`ve got my settings on low. The game runs pretty laggy. Now i`m not moaning about the lagg and game isn`t right for my PC. I know i need to upgrade. So, i`ve been looking at the Dell XPS 710; Intel Core 2 Quad Core QX6600 2.4GHz processor, Windows Vista, Dual Nvidia 8600GTS cards, 2 Gig RAM. Will i be able to run BTS on full settings, Huge map, a dozen or so nations without any lag ?? Please, if you have an XPS 7 series let me know or if you know a lot abot computers help me out ;) Thanks for any advice in advance.

I work for Dell...lol, here right now actually.

I'd generally say XPS 410 is actually a better deal....

You don't need SLI. Unless you're trying to drive multiple large displays it serves no purpose. Get the 768mb 8800 GTX instead. You don't need anywhere near that to run BtS at full settings. It's doing well on my almost 2 year old XPS 400, Pentium-D 2.0, 256mb Geforce 6800, 2GB RAM, vista. I only ever experience problems on a huge map near end game.

The 710 is NLA anyway, you'd have to get the XPS 720. You'd be spending alot more money for no reason.

"The 710 is NLA anyway, you'd have to get the XPS 720. You'd be spending alot more money for no reason" Excuse my ignorance but waht does "NLA" stand for ??

I've got XPS 710, Pentium Dual core 2.6 Ghz, 2 gig ram, nVidia 768mb 8800 GTX. The game runs on maximum setting without any lag, but then I wouldn't expect there to be any lag on such a system, otherwise I'd ask for my money back.

That's at the bottom of the BTS site...So I guess it works.
