Know your system requirements

[Gravemind]

I just noticed a lot of people on here posting issues without giving information on their system so I dug up this link

You can run the test on any game and it will give you your system specs in relation to the game specs and if you tell us what it says for your system it will probably help the people here in fixing your issues. It's a fair bit easier then getting a dxdiag report that is meaningless gibberish to the person with the problem so it'll help them understand their compter.

Ok that's my community contribution for today.

It doesn't list Planeshift (of course), it only works on windows and it messes with some Active X/Java WITHOUT the normal securityoptions (firefox warns you about that, I hope IE does that too)
=> I don't like this thing and I wouldn't trust just any website to do things like that.

For people that want to try it anyways: with downloading that applet you give this applet the permission to mess with things on your computer, which normal Java doesn't. Just as a warning, but otherwise: feel free to try it.

There are better ways to get your system stats on you OS. Maybe we should make a thread about that instead.
