Hidden errors slow down system performance - FACT.
In this article, I will be talking about a nice service that allows you to easily check the system requirements of games. Recently I bought a couple of games and I tried installing them on my computer system but with no success. I was thinking that my computer system wasn’t fast enough or my graphics card wasn’t good enough to support the games. Anyways, while I was searching the net for the games’ system requirements, I stumbled across a nice site that actually compares all your system specs with the games requirements and then tells you which piece of hardware is not up to standards.
The sites name is System Requirements Lab and you may have already used it before as it is an excellent hassle-free utility that quickly tells you the information that you need. You will need to give your permission to download an ActiveX/Java browser component that does all the analysis of your hardware. Currently the service supports Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, 2003, Media Center and Vista.
Some of the more notable games that you can check to see if your computer system will play them are BioShock, Call of Duty 4, Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars, Crysis, Gears of War, NBA Live 08, Need for Speed Pro Street, NHL 08, SimCity Societies, Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade. So if you are planning to buy any of these games, I would suggest that you first check to see if your computer system is able to play them or else you will be utterly disappointed in the end, like me.

at 1/29/2008 8:19:15 AMThis sounds interesting, how many times have you scoped a game at the store, taken a look at the req’s on the box, only to install it and find out that you cannot run it. I wonder however if it actually informs you of anything you already did not know, because most of the time, my hardware has simply not been compatible for some reason or another. Only way to know is to try it out I suppose.
The VAMPIRE are Here
i need to know if i can run saints row to for pc i got 2gb ddr2 ram 8500 video card 512 mb ddr2 3.6 cpu and 250 gb hard drive
A much more useful tool would be “what games can I run?” “Can I run it?” is retarded and/or for retards. All you need to do is google your game name plus system requirements to find out what the box says and I highly doubt they actually test these requirements for all these games. It’s likely a db full of box-copy-requirements.
I agree, I’d like a list of games that I could run on my computer rather than checking each game 1 by 1 to see if it’s compatible.
processor quad core 4.0ghz
250 HDD
ASUS BOARD
2GB RADEON V’CARD
2GB APACER MEMORY CARD
This is best.But is there any software which i can download and it tell system requirements.This website is too heavy for me because my internet speed is only 115Kbps.
Please tell me any software(nit website) which tells that your computer is perfet or not for this game.

I am sorry but I dont know of any other tool like this. It should only download a small file when you initially install it so the long loading shouldn’t occur if you use it after that.
Bookmarked for future reference. TY
