Well, I cranked up the BioShock demo last night.  It played pretty well with my system, in spite of the fact that I didn’t bother trying to tweak and turn things off.  The framerate was too low, but I wanted a feel for what a DX9 card would present.  My current rig has a Core 2 Duo E6400, 2GB DDR2, and a GeForce 6800 Ultra.  It’s the graphics card holding me back, but I’m hoping Rudeboy gets his rig back up so we can see what a single core will do to this thing. 

Impressions?  The gameplay was really pretty decent.  The areas were really creepy, and it’s got style like no other game.  Story seems intriguing.  It’ll play on my rig, but I’ll have to turn off some of the cooler effects.  I zapped guys with electricity, and fried some with fire, and shot some.  Seems like lots of options for destruction.

I’d like to get a feel for how it’s running on older hardware, so if anyone’s played the demo, feel free to give a report with your specs in the comments.
