Can You Run It? www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/

"Can You Run It?" is quite difficult to write about... because, overall, it's a usable and helpful service... but one thing bugged me so much, that I had to give it a low rating.

The website lets you compare your system specs to the requirements of most software. I was testing mine against Eve: Online, and, although I did dominate every single statistic, it still said I did not meet the minimum requirements. This would appear to be because it didn't recognise my graphics card against the list provided by Eve, so it immediately said that I didn't meet the requirements. However, upon closer inspection of all my graphics card attributes, compared to the ones provided by Eve (MB, Pixel Shader etc) it would also appear that I once again, dominate.

So, if you are someone who just glances at the final result, and doesn't enquire, CYRI is not for you. If you don't mind doing a little digging, you will find it to be a superb and helpful service.

And hey, it's free, so what the hell? Dig in.
