Splinter Cell: Conviction system requirements

[Revol]

Howdy! I intend on buying Splinter Cell Conviction on PC. I read the system requirements for the game, however I'm not sure if my system can withhold it.

My specs are:

Inter Core 2 Duo T5450 1.66 GHz compared to the Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 1.8 GHz required by the game.

NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS 256 MB compared to the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS 512MB required by the game.

4 GB of RAM compared to the 2 GB of RAM required by the game.

Do you think I should buy it, or are the specs not sufficient enough? Thanks in advance.

 

[not so gray matter]

Processor: Less Than Recommend/Minumum=
Ram: Over Recommended =
Video Card: Minimum Requirement =

In other words you're not going to have much fun playing this game. You barely, and I mean barely have close to the minimum requirements to play the game. Keep in mind that the minimum requirements are just to run the game, not even at a playable level. The recommended requirements are the ones that usually show whether or not your system can handle the game. Since you're not meeting the minimum requirements (1.8/1.5GB/256MB) nevermind the recommend requirements (1.8/2GB/512MB) I don't recommend buying the game.

You might be thinking that you'll be fine because you're close on the processor and you have more than enough ram and you're also at the minimum requirement on the graphics card. This isn't going to work. The ram is important, but it's no where near the whole ballgame. Having a processor that can get through the information is very important and ever more important is having a graphics card that can display the game. With those specs I'd expect that the game would probably start, might even play a little but you'd probably be stuck w/ 4-8 FPS and choppy playback.

Yeah, thought so. Such a pain Ubisoft have released the game only on Xbox 360 and PC. I'm a big Splinter Cell fan, but at this point there's not much to do but hope they release it for PS3 as well in the future like they did with Double Agent.

Oh, and thanks for the response.
