Thanks for the feedback, sounds like you have a pretty beefy system!
I will be upgrading my video card when I get the new monitor. So that shouldn't be a problem. The rest of my system is definitely good enough. Not sure if I'm going ATI or GeForce. I've always been a GF fan, but my motherboard is xfire compatible, not SLI. It probably doesn't matter anyway, if I get a top of the line card, either brand will run this game with no problem on a 30 inch screen. In any case, I'll still have 2 other monitors hooked up to this (a cintiq 22 inch for digital ilustration work, and a 20 inch as a second monitor - not as an eyefinity/surround video setup).
Now I have to find a 30 inch screen
