Anyone Play Max Payne on PC?
This game looks incredible but I'm reluctant to pick it up because of the pretty steep requirements. I have exactly what's expected for the recommended gameplay. An Athlon 700, 32MB 3D card(Rage 128) and 256MB RAM. If anyone is playing this on a similar system I'd like to hear how smooth the gameplay is.
Thanks to anyone who can respond.

PIII, 600 MHZ, 128 RAM, 16MB 3D card (ATI Rage 128).
It runs really well, just had one slight problem in a scene where the lighting got quirky but other than that it's been great. (Looking at everyone else's specs it looks like I need to get an upgrade).

well, i have the minimum specs. celeron 300A overclocked to 450, 16mb TNT Card, 128MB ram. i have to say that at a lower resolution, i can play it. went thru the first chapter and it was very playable.
at work, w/ the p4 1.4GHz and 32 MB GeForce, 256 MB ram. i can run at higher resolutions and i notice much better frame rates, much smoother movement...
i also tried it on a Athlon 1.0GHz w/ built in sony Vaio SiS 16MB card, 256MB ram and it wasn't as much an improvement over my home system as i though it was going to be. i changed the video card to the 32 MB GeForce 256 and it was much better (but not as good as the P1.4).
i too will look to put together a system at the end of the year that will easily handle this game - and upcoming ones! - at least for another 6 months

Thanks for all your replies. From the responses I've gotten I feel my machine can handle this adequately. Now to hope Best Buy puts this on sale again in the near future.
