Oh yes, just wanted to add:
Apart from the lock-ups with the new patch, the game runs as smooth as a baby's bum on my rig at max video settings (pre or post patch). AMD Athlon 64 4800, Nvidia board, 2x Nvidia 7800GT (SLI), 2x1mb ram dual channel. No frame rate issues using 2 CPUs.
The graphics are amazing.
