I don't *want* to play fear, I bought the magazine out of 
boredom and to see what ridiculous new heights the graphics card 
technology was reaching. I liked the fear logo so tried it and 
it didn't run, not surprisingly.

What I want to play is another game which is about 3 years old 
and has very modest requirements (800MHz proc etc). My question 
regards the graphics side only.
