I have a fairly new computer, but it just broke. So I have to fix it, even though the game comes out in 2 weeks. My laptop actually passed on everything except CPU speed, and it's about 1.50 and I need 2, so not too horrid. I failed epically for Spore, and yet ran it pretty well. As long as I expect slow I can handle it. I'll probably just go through and clean up my laptop a bit, and once I can afford to have my computer fixed do that and just send over my saved games.
One day? Alienware. Oh yes.
[I can dream.]
