    that's a good PC but if you're using fraps in 8 vs 8 you'll always lag so even if u buy this pc you wont record with fraps at 30 fps

    That spec should run the game.

    Here is my spec for comparison:

    Dell XPS M1710 Laptop
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Intel Core2Duo T7600 2.33GHz
    nVidia Geforce 7950GTX (512MB Dedicated RAM)
    160GB SATA HDD
    4GB DDR2 (Upgraded from 2 GB)

    Run at 1440x900 Resolution.

    I don't use fraps but I typically get around 70-80FPS.

    OK, you changed it from 512MB to 256MB.

    This might make it borderline for consistent smooth gameplay. It also depends what resolution you will be using on your monitor.

    I would really go for a minimum 512MB card if you can. If you are buying direct from a store see if they can pop in a 512MB card, shouldn't be much difference if you can afford it.

    I ran the game fine with 2GB before I upgraded to 4GB.

    Unfortunately I havent used a 256MB card recently with crossfire. Hopefully someone with a similar spec and 256MB card will reply with their FPS results.

    Only other thing I could suggest is do you absolutely need it for xmas or do they have xmas after sales in your country? As I am sure you would be able to increase the spec a bit for the same price.

    I've got theses specs

    Intel core2Duo 2.93 Ghz
    4 GB DDR2 RAM
    GPU Nvidia 8600GT (256 MB DDR3)
    OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64
    FPS : between 85-150
    Running game on 32-bit max resolution
    The specs you have mentioned above should run the game smoothly. :)
    Though I haven't tried FPS rate while recording the game video with fraps.
