ok i just went back and checked, i was playing on med settings. BUT!
I pressed the button that says "scan hardware for optimal settings" and it put it on "ULTRAHIGH quality" and 1700 blah resolution. then i played it and it lagged just ever so slightly, but playable... remember, not high but ULTRA HIGH settings.. SO HAh!, not only that, but im playing music and downloading at the same time!
choke on them apples
games are not based on just VIDEO CARD, my processor is P4 3.0ghz with 1gb ram, im sure that helps.
EDIT: recording music not just playing it
