Is that with or without the drm on the disk?
Note i am not asking what drm they are using or why but merly how much space the drm requires since it must also uses some space on the disk.
I also have no idea how big a drm footprint is in terms of disk space so that is why i ask.
Some form of copy protection will definitely appear on the disk. It is not put there to be a hassle to us, the true fans of the game. It is only there to protect the rights of all those who make money out of the original copies from those who seek to undermine the industry.

CBJ, from a few pages back wrote:Clearly you missed the bit where discussion of copy protection was split out of this thread and locked. This isn't all that surprising since it's now in another thread, so no warning and I'll simply remind people: no discussion of DRM and copy protection please, because people seem to be incapable of discussing it without straying outside the bounds of the law and therefore the forum rules.

I have a question about the video card, I want to buy a new HP PC 4G DDR2 RAM, Intel Core 2 Q6600 2.4G, the video card is nVidia GeForce 9500GS 3D PCI-Express 512M. Can I play X3 TC very smoothly with GeForce 9500GS ?

It will run smooth or not depending on your screen resolution and gfx settings.
The card in that pc is a buget card thus not very powerful.
Sidenote: why do companies alway's put good cpu/ram/hdd/... together with a bad gfx card?

Since none of us have X3:TC yet, except for those who are under an NDA, we can only base our expectations on X3:R. That said, I can tell my 8600 GTS is not enough to run X3:R smoothly at 1080P and high quality. Check out www.gpureview.com for specs, prices, and comparisons on video cards - specifically the nVidia geForce 9600GT (8800GT) or ATI Radeon HD 4850 as the bare minimum.

To stay competitive price wise for the mainstream buyers who may not necessarily know the difference This also gives them the ability to skimp on other parts such as cases with decent airflow, and PSU's.
3gb of RAM in "recommended" is only for Vista (since Vista takes about 1 gb for itself) or because game compiled with /LARGEADDRESSAWARE key, and designed to use all 3gb for game itself on XP systems?

I've already pre-ordered from amazon but have to wait until the 3rd October and its driving me mad.......muhahahahaha
Zoozer
i pre ordered mine off amazon and they are giving a date of arrival between the 9-15th of october
*goes punch a wall simply for "being there"* ouch
so for me the wait is longer and more fustrating
if previous games are anything to go by, then the demo will be available after the initial release, as thats when it has been available on previous games
