Is there no Amazon in Australia?

Here in Austria (we have no kangaroos) you can buy tons of it in all
shops for a while now (2 weeks?).

But I took X2 instead because it is cheap now and I'm afraid my 2GHz
with a 9600pro pc won't be lucky with X3...

Regards

In Perth I've seen 3 EB's so far fully stocked with several rows of shelves 
for X3.

I didn't see it in any of the big chains like Target etc however, just EB.

Ceo-

I'm playing X3 with a 2.1GHz (overclocked 1.6GHz) CPU and FX5900XT card. 
Seems to be running okay on my rig!  (I don't have every option turned on 
though!)

Hi P. :-)

so X3 would be worth a try and it could run on my PC also... Do you
have 1GB of RAM?

Did you also play X2? IF so, is it fun to play X3 if one already played
X2? I'm just at the beginning of the X2 game. It reminds me very much
on Elite (how comes? :o) Yesterday I had a fight with a Pirate but I
had no chance to destroy the ship just with my laser guns. I wonder if
this is even possible? But maybe I'm a bad fighter :-D

Cheers

Yes...1GB of RAM, Windows XP Home Edition.

I did play X2, but never got all the way through it.  I haven't gotten very 
far into X3 yet, so I can not honestly comment on much else about the game.
