As sven stated, it's more of a CPU issue than a GPU, that 7600GS (even if it's AGP) would have still run the game ok. But the game (coming from a 360) uses a lot of mlti-threaded code, just like Ghost Recond Advanced Warfighter did/does.

Just upgrade the CPU & Motherboard to a Dual Core setup and you'll be ready to go. Not sure if you can find a Mobo with AGP anymore though :cool:

You really should've saved your nickels and dimes for a dual core setup if you wanted a "gaming" machine for next gen games. Don't blame the developers for your mistakes and/or ignorance.

Thank you for the lecture.  It really straightened me out.  I had an opportunity to upgrade my computer to the best that I could afford, which was around 500 bucks, so I took it.  It may not have been the best investment, but it was a **** sight better than what I had.  If I had stuck with my AMD, I wouldn't have even CONSIDERED downloading the demo to Lost Planet.  The requirements state, A minimum of a Pentium 4 HT or AMD equivalent.  P4 what? 2.3ghz? 3.6?  What?  How am I supposed to guess what the minimums are when Capcom won't specify?  If I had SOME idea of how fast minimum processor speed was required, I probably wouldn't have posted.

Edit: Thanks SpykeZ.  I'll keep that in mind.
