the integrated graphics processor that is built into this CPU WILL play swtor. their are a lot of trolls on these forums that honestly believe you need an intel extreme $1000 cpu, 24gb of ddr3 ram and two nvidia 580GTX graphic cards with dual SSD hard drives in raid 0 configuration to run this game, when the reality is this game has been in development even before these parts were made. i posted a thread on here asking what a computer with an older phenom x4 9650, 4gb ram and a nvidia 9800gt would be able to play on, in hopes someone may have a similar setup. instead i got one reply from an idiot that said "it will play like it is being played on a toaster :\" really... during beta i played this game with 1024x768 through HDMI on a 50" LCD TV on my sony viao laptop which had a 2.3 ghz dual core amd, 3gb ddr3, and an integrated ATI 4250. ok it played on low settings with a average framerate of 30 fps but if anyone knowing anything about computer reads this they should know this is far cry from a gaming machine. the PC you are planning to buy however has a GPU 5-10x better than what i listed in my laptop. not to mention AMD's A8 cpu is a dual core wile not as good as their phenom 2 x4 lineup mainly due to its lack of level 3 cache, it will play this game i would say 1024x768 with high character detail and high texture detail. be sure to keep bloom and shaders off or at least low. I am planning on buying a pc with an AMD a4 cpu which has a less powerful GPU and is only a dual core, this pc happens to have 2gb of ram and i know it will play swtor on at least low settings. amd's A-series apu processors are still very new and their is not a lot of information on them yet.
