silly rabbit, trix are for suckers.
they do this to sell more cards. of course they're not going to tell you you need a quad core 3gz cpu to run sli. nobody would buy their gpus. but if they say 'oh yeah, you can run this on that dual core no prob" more profit for them.
it could also be a typo, notice how it says "we recommend a of a Core 2..."
it should be "we recommend a minimum of a Core 2..."

For some reason the 4890s are dissapearing from online stores brand new,...you may get one second hand easily though.
when i went from my 8800GT to the 4890 is was a huge diffrence!
Even though the 4890 is a beast of a card,Id recommend you go for something like a 5830 instead because its newer and of course has DX11.

Well, at least it's dual-core. Although it would definitely prove to be a bottleneck, it's pretty much the standard bottleneck that a company would put as their "absolute minimum" for anything. Windows XP has a RAM requirement of 256mb. Does it run fast with 256mb? Heck no. Also, if you think about it, cards back in '05 wre probably advertised with a minimum CPU of a Pentium 4 3.2GHz or something. Also a big bottleneck.
Single GTX 260-280 recommend an Intel Core 2 duo 1.8ghz?
Oh what am I even saying, it deserves an LOL.
just a noob

Probably not, BC2 is really cpu dependent(I run mostly high with my 9800gt on a 1920x1200 resolution)
