Is it me, or do most of the system specs I see posted with major issues seem to be AMD? Some of them seem nicer than my Intel 8500....at any rate, HT has some smart folks, and given time, they will figure out how to fix said major problems on the myriad of machines folks have here. It looks like sans a higher-end machine, you can't appreciate the new stuff, but it's still playable, as long as the issues are fixed.
There's prolly an invisible line where NEW people with high-end machines pop in and look around at the older graphics....are not impressed, and finish their 2 weeks and move on, versus the existing subscriber base, who will always fall by the wayside at a steady rate via attrition. At some point, it is financially necessary to cater to the first group at the expense of the second
