    I'm looking into buying an m11x (mainly for playing games). I've searched around the forum and it seems like some people are having trouble running M2:TW at good framerates despite the fact that the m11x should meet it's requirements. Supposedly one of the explanations might be because it's an older game and doesn't utilize quad cores.

    I was just wondering who had M2:TW and how it was running on their m11x (and which revision). Thanks for whatever help you can give.

    My r2 runs M2 just fine. The key is that you make SURE it is whitelisted. I had terrible frame rates when I first ran it, but after making sure it was on the list I get very good rates in large battles on the highest settings. Of course, I overclock my cpu quite a bit so that might be a major help, However I run the i5 Anyway so you know the game will run.
