New Computer

[Underoath]

Hey, I just got a new computer. This is what it is: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....prd77000050006

In case you're too lazy to click the link, which I would be, here are the specs:

• Intel® quad-core technology with 4 complete execution cores, Intel® Viiv™ technology and a built-in TV tuner can handle everything you throw at this PC
• Intel® Core™2 Quad processor Q6600, Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost, 2GB DDR2 memory; Windows Vista Home Premium, TV tuner, double-layer DVD±RW/CD-RW drive, 500GB hard drive, NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT graphics, 15-in-1 media manager

So can anyone tell me what to expect playing Medieval II: Total War on it? It's a huge upgrade from my laptopl, which honestly, is fine, but I couldn't upgrade the graphics card (6150) so I really couldn't enjoy the game that much.

And BTW, does anyone know how to eject a disc from a laptop when it won't turn on? The reason I got a new computer is because my laptop is broken, and, guess what? Medieval II is stick in it. So, what should I do, try to pry it open? Or is there a more safe way?

What, you bought a PC that has a Q6600 and an 8500GT? Honestly, the 8500GT is pretty poor. But try it and see, can you not take out your laptop CD drive?

No, it's broken and won't turn on.

Alright well I got the disc out of my laptop, thanks to my screw driver, I kind of messed up the disc drive, but whatever.

But why do you say 8500GT is poor? I had a 6150 with a laptop and could run Medieval pretty well on Medium settings.

Basically I'm just trying to find out if I should send it back, because I guess it got some bad reviews, but then I got to a different site and it says it's great for gaming. I mean, I just need a definitive answer really. Is it going to run Medieval well? I mean, high settings, maybe not all maxed out, but fairly high, at a good framerate?
