Ok, it's been a while but I just had to get a new computer due to a hard drive failure of my old one. I have 3.0 ghz processor, Radeon 4200 video card, 1 tb harddrive and 4 gigs of ram. SS 08 runs flawlessly with everything maxed out on the graphics options in game. I was kinda gettin' tired of all the dragging and low frame rates and kind of left it alone for a while. I installed it last night in the new one and man, the difference between night and day. Ok now for the question. Is the demo any indication of how SSE will run on my machine? I would kind of like to know before I shell out the big bucks on SSE. Any help or suggestions is really greatly appreciated.
