Personally I'm not bothered about there being a dedicated SOW website at the moment. I'm sure that game development is a much higher priority and I'm perfectly happy to keep getting the odd scrap of information here. Always looking forward to the next scrap though. Hope we can expect another morsel at the end of this month. :)

I agree but a dedicated website would suggest that the product was in its final stages, the fact that there is no website still suggest to me that this will be a 2010 release at best.

System Reqs. & Release Date
 

If we are talking about a 2010 release date then maybe I should go with an eco-groovy hp firebird?

Is any testing being done on i7 processor 64bit OS and are there/would there be significant performance improvements?

As far as graphics cards are going, how what are your impressions with the gtx295 based cards and the Radeon HD 4870 X2: R700 series?

For if you wanted me to beta test bob should I get a retail pre-built system similar to what consumers might use?

Also, how do people report their satisfaction with gtx295 and radeon 4870 with 1946? Does 1946 make use of 64bit os? (sorry noob question)

SOW
beta test is by invitation only (My guess is it has already started. The absences of regular posters to this forum would indicate they are otherwise engaged :grin:).
May 2009 Oleg has said he will release system specs for the game.
That date has not changed.

1946
And no, IL2 1946 does not support 64bit. It will work though, but it will not be faster or slower using 64bit processing or software.
Radeon's cannot do perfect mod, a known issue that is unlikily to be fixed at this late stage.
But other than that both cards are stunning and future proof, that is untill next week when the new uber XXXXX is released :grin:

Radeons are unable to run perfect mod? You joking or just referring to X2? Since i had it run perfect with no problems (on single GPU cards) i hope you are joking. Or are we thinking of different things, could be. But a very old card of mine (x850XT) was running perfect quite fine.
