Can you RUN it?

Can I run it? All gamers and computer users have always asked this question when posed with a new game.  For awhile now, a business called Husdawg has a browser based program that sniffs your computer (not a trojan or anything) and checks your computer out and sees if your computer is good enough to play any number of games.  This is a great tool to use if you have a question about a friend or family and not sure if they can run that game.  You can simply choose a game from the list (which has hundreds of games) and it will run a system check and tell you what is minimum and recommended and where your system stands.

Here is an example of what it looks like after it is done analyizing.  Although it will very, there is more information above and below this picture.  However, this is on my laptop and this is showing the recommended system requirements when comparing with The Sims 2 a fairly common game.

If you wish to use this tool, you may visit SRTest.  I highly recommend this program.  It gives detailed information and gives you accurate information as to if you can play a game sucessfully or not.  If you are having any problems or suggestions, go ahead and comment them.

Use this tool!
