[SL vs System Requirements]

Thank you for the helpful info and advice, CoffeeDujour.

[SL vs System Requirements]

It would great to know the relative importance of CPU to GPU, RAM speed, etc.  My budget is not tight, but I don't want to throw money at top-level components that won't make that big a difference.  I'd rather look at 30fps with ultra settings on a 1440 screen than high fps with lower graphic settings.

There is a lot of information available about the performance of popular games on various computers and components.  Does anyone know which common games SL behaves most like?
