I have a question concerning running the game at the max smoothly... I currently have:
Dell XPS 400
Pentinum (R) D CPU 2.80 Ghz
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 PCI-E x16 256MB
2GB DDR2 RAM

I recently upgraded my Ram, and now can play the game on High with some lag as I go, but it runs decent overall. If I wanted to run this game on Ultra High, what would you suggest I upgrade? Is it even possible with my machine, should I upgrade some things?
I see some of you have incredible machines... I would love to get a new one, however I just barely purchased this one a few months ago!

Getting a new, high end, video card would help quite a bit. Like a 8800 GeForce or Radeon x1950 model card with 512meg ram at least. Upping to 4 gigs ram will probably help you quite a bit too, though 2 is still good. I would say update your CPU too, as from what I remember the Pent D isn't the best gaming CPU... but, that would likely require a new mobo too, and that opens up a whole new can of worms, especially when dealing with trying to upgrade a pre-built system.
The video card will likely be the biggest upgrade, and will help the most. The ram will also help some, but with people playing on max with just 2gig it isn't going to make THAT big a difference compared to the video card imo.
