Server 2008 here, with DX10 and less than half the ram usage of Vista! (Even With Aero)

There is an XP tweak program that lets you use DX10 in Windows XP y'know...

the real question is, how many days after release will this be on torrent sites?

lol Immediately, it's FarCry 2 dude. I remember sitting down at my computer the morning Crysis was released and downloading the torrent for it.

But the actual real question is: Did they make better rock textures this time around?

They? Ubisoft owns Far Cry... Crytek just happened to have made the first one. Crytek (Crysis, Far Cry 1) are not part of Far Cry 2 at all.
