2. Windows Vista x64.

3. Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 lub szybszy.

4. nVidia 8800 320/640 lub mocniejsza.

W tej specyfikacji DCS śmiga płynnie na full detalach.

Wrong forum anyway. :music_whistling:

You can "use" 4:3 or 16:10 monitors, Szelma was answering your question which one was "better".

 

I prefer widescreen (16:10 or 16:9) over the 4:3 boxes because you get a little more peripheral vision, and the debate between 16:10 and 16:9 is trivial, IMHO. The typical HD aspect ratio is 16:9, so when viewing HD on a 16:10, there'll be little black bars somewhere on the monitor, which upsets the HD purists to no end.

 

I'd also add the bigger the monitor the better, as long as it still fits within your desk space. I recently went from a 19" 4:3 to a 24" 16:10 and am loving it.
