Am I outdated for the next generation of games?

[ShinRa]

I'm curious. I've been out of the loop for so long now, I don't know if I'm up to date for next years games. Maybe you tech-gurus can help.

AMD FX-57 2.8ghz single core processor
1GB Corsair XMS PC4000 RAM
160GB WD Caviar HD
The rest is shits and giggles that don't matter.
I'm upgrading my card to a DX10 card when ATI comes out with one, so consider that in the rig too. Am I ok? Or do I need to start saving?

it sounds like you'll be alright for a while. but im f**ked

You'll probably want another gig of ram

I agree with Keane, the ram is gonna be your bottleneck.

You have a nice high-end cpu so you'll prolly be good for a while on that. It's hard to say how much multi-core cpu's are gonna catch on with game developers. I wouldn't be surprised if we start to see multi-core cpu in the minimum req. of some games before long tho. Just something to consider.

get another gig of ram and DX10 card and you should be fine for awhile.....
