Epic Game; Epic Needs

This is an awesome game. Unfortunately, it also requires an awesome computer. I am about 1/4 of the way through with my money-saving campaign to get said computer, with these specs:

Intel Core 2 Quad Processor
8 gigs of ddr2 mem
GeForce 9800 GX2 graphics card
Good/ ok motherboard

Seems great, right? Well, I have BIG expectations. In your opinion, could I run this game perfectly at absolute HIGHEST specs with 10,000 troops? If not, I will probably invest in something else...

If you want 10k, get the fast processor out there, period. PentUpRage got 10k in RTW by overclocking a processor, so your processor HAS to be the fastest. 8GB RAM is too much and the game will not use it all and your card needs to be the bomb as well. And never underestimate the power of a $300 mobo. I am unsure who has the highest soldiers on this forum, but search for it and see what they have.

Thnx Alfonso. I think I can upgrade to the Core 2 Extreme (the fastest) and the motherboard I have is really good. I don't think I need to worry about the video card (Its a beast).
