    Doesn't seem all that bad.... you should be able to play it. I wouldn't assume you can just jump straight into like Ultra settings. The game is still in Beta you got a couple days left before we have any REAL gameplay experience.

    MMO's like quads so thers no reason not to get it :D Also my laptop has MAJOR heating problems ever since i put the i7 in it. Without a laptop cooler and at 1.1v i reach 108oC on gpu and 102oC average on all core. However I have a laptop cooler now and i maintain my cpu cores under 85oC and my gpu at a steady 88-90oC. These are temps are long long long sessions of bc2. If im playing crysis or metro 2033 for that long my gpu tops out at around 94oC, averaging at around 92oC. Hope this helped!
