This just in: PC requirements are bananas. Capcom recently released the minimum and maximum specs that you need to have in order to fully enjoy
Street Fighter IV. They seem particularly beefy to me, mainly because I don’t believe my actual PC could rock anything nastier than
Quest for Glory III. (And, hell, even that stutters.)
MinimumOS: Windows XP
CPU: Intel Pentium4 2.0GHz or higher
RAM: 1GB or higher
HDD: 10GB of free space or more
Video Card: DirectX 9.0c/Shader3.0 or higher compatible, NVIDIA GeForce6600 series, ATI Radeon(TM) X1600 or higher or higher, VRAM ：256MB or higher
Sound: DirectSound compatible, DirectX 9.0c (or higher) compatible

Maximum

I’m trying to imagine a world with an IntelCore2Duo. I bet with one of those babes in-between my legs (in a rig, of course) I could totally open two tabs in Firefox. I even bet I could open
Peggle and Microsoft Word at the same time.
Oh, right,
Street Fighter IV. So, are guys feeling this? Do you have all the necessary junk to rock it out?

Well there's 90% of PC gamers out.
Maybe it's those filters?
crap I was hoping to play it on a desk with no PC but just a video card ;)
Fuck, my main machine is an Acer Aspire One 8.9" netbook. If I get SF4 for the PC I'm gonna install it on this just to see if it even TRIES to run.
Not sure what you mean by the mature comment.
It's only 100, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I was just joking, my time isn't worth games I wouldn't spend money on. But it's not piracy that's killing PC gaming, it's consoles.
How come we can't use [s]strikethrough[/s]?
Japanese-made PC games are always fucking HUEG for some reason, though. MGS2 takes up 7 GB and that came out years ago. Silent Hill 2 and 3 are nearly as big.
"This reminds me of when they ported Street Fighter 2 for the Amiga. Sure you can play it on your computer, but why would you want to? Call me old fashioned, but strategy games and FPSes on the PC and beatemups and side scrolling shooters on the console. It's science."
Maybe because some of us don't have consoles? Just sayin'. :)
I personally prefer to wait and have content for the PC rather than get a console, just my philosophy of how this whole thing should work. I'll agree that a controller/fightpad is far better as input for it, though.
