Exactly, usually it only installs the most important files and leaves stuff like video, certain audio ( music etc. ) and other contents on the disc - With the digital version, it all is being installed to the HDD.

I though nobody does that anymore and everything is installed by default including all the videos and other materials, but i suppose it makes sense

I can't think of any PC games in the past 6-7 years that keep some content on the disk after installing...?

Good! I like games making use of my modern hardware.

Let's hope it runs well too.

Dirt 2 have the HD5700 as recommended card...

I stand, err... sit corrected.

Yikes, a 260 as the recommended video card? We'll see how well my 9800 can perform here. I've got a Quadcore and 8 GB of RAM, so everything else should be okay.

Speaking of RAM, does that 2 GB recommendation seem a little low to anyone else? I expected to see that for the requirements, but not the recommend specs.

yea i would think 4gigs for a recommendation for me about right and 2gigs a mem, my rule of thumb is 2gigs mem min for vista/7 for playing games!

      I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉
