hmm turns out i will be able to run it quite well, as long as its in compatability mode for vista. BTW about the Xbox comment. I far prefer not to play on consoles, especially the Xbox. Although I own many consoles, I always end up not playing my games as much as I would if they were on PC, because I dislike being alone in a room while i play games, thats what loners do. My consoles are hooked up in a room where no one besides me ever goes, so no reason to play on them if i can play on my lappy in the tv room
