hope my core 2 quad can handle this

Would have thought I Core 2 Quad core should handle it just fine considering the minimum is a P4 3ghz. Bit of a jump though going from a P4 to an i7.

What are EPAC territories?
I wonder how much the CPU contribues to performance in this game. I was hoping I could just upgrade the GFX to a 5770 and then play the game in all its beauty with my E6400 and 4GB RAM (Windows7).

Brint it on, it's good to see games pushing newer tech.

I can't wait to give my 5850 some exercise with this.

I hope Dirt 2 still comers with Sapphire cards when I order one.
