I've removed the spam from your post. If you spam again you'll be banned.
Yes, that PC can play it.

I found Imgburn is a good replacement for Nero. Imgburn is less than 3MB but it has most of the functions you need to burn a disk.

And I personally prefer i7 2600k + Z68 over i7 930 + X58.

It's a spammer He doesn't need real answers
In fact, I hope he buys that Alienware and gets ripped off.

Spammers are human too.

By the way, there's a mistake in the spec. i7 930's stock clock is 3.06GHz, not 3.36GHz. I'm not sure if that spec was typed manually or copied and pasted from Dell's website.

im gonna go check

the spam is outdated. It should include a 2nd-gen i7

Hmmm...Then again, seeing that Windows 95 (or whatever) runs so much lighter than XP, Vista, 7, etc, does it actially run much slower?

@Aumich - You quoted shovenose as saying that the original poster would be banned for spamming and now you spam yourself

Haha I just banned that person. But it's funny he acted like I spammeed
