    Just a caveat for those entertaining this: doing so will void your warranty. Whether or not this is a consideration is a matter of personal opinion--just wanted to put it out there.

    It is known that the stock fan is underpowered and will not cool enough.
    While I've replaced stock fans on older video cards in the past, I've found the cooling solution on this card adequate for a mid-range graphics card (I'm not OC'ing it). That's not to suggest it couldn't be improved, just that it works well in my application.

    Not to intentionally derail this thread, so if the mods and the OP can indulge me just this time.

    chanss, I may be wrong guy to ask about the game as I'm afraid I may be looking at it through rose-colored glasses. I thoroughly enjoy it and would rank it a 9. There's a brief, albeit fair review of Battlefront on ACG, that you may wish to read. If you do end up getting it and are up for a PBEM skirmish, let me know. ;)

    Back on topic:

    Although Mr. Cobb made some fair points, I was definitely a little surprised by some statements within his review.

    Again, thanks for your indulgence.

    Is anybody running TOW with a ATI X1950 graphic card satisfactorily?? Which CPU and operative system are you using?

    I am, yes.

    I have everything maxed and it runs quite well on this low-end PC. I'm in the process of building a whole new system, though I can't see the performance improving drastically, as it's very smooth on this tired, low-end horse: AMD 64 3500+, 2GB DDR, 512MB version of an X1950 Pro, A8V Deluxe, X-Fi and WinXP Pro (SP2).

    what is with the long loading times? Is this just because it's the demo?

    It's due to your current system specs. Unfortunately your system doesn't meet the minimum system requirements, let alone the recommended specs. Specifically, you should have a minimum of 1GB of memory.

    When playing the demo, I never experienced loading times longer than roughly 15 seconds.

    The system specs, minimum and recommended, are available here.

    a while ago (before the game was released) I remember reading that infantry can enter rubbled buildings. Is that true?

    Unfortunately, infantry can't enter buildings--rubbled or otherwise. Perhaps during an earlier development cycle the designers had this feature on the drawing board.
  6. The review may be accessed directly by clicking here.

    "If you're looking to graduate from some of the more simplistic WWII RTS games out there, give Theatre of War a shot. It's definitely weightier than the usual RTS game set during the last good war yet still easy to learn and accessible for casual grognards."

  7. There's no resupply option for tanks. Insofar as artillery accuracy is concerned, you select the general area for the strike, and that's where the barrage is concentrated.
