Hmmm I was, at the least, memory bound on the P4. I only had 512MB of RAM and during the demo then I was using it all and starting to swap to HDD via virtual memory. Also, I wasn't seeing any ship graphics (presumably due to the memory or something else)... all ships just looked like icons at any zoom level.

Hi All, I am just wondering if it is safe to buy a used copy of Sins? From what I understand, Stardock allows a limited number of license key registrations for the registration to be considered "valid" and therefore for me to download subsequent patches, etc. The person I would like to buy from said they only registered the game once but I have no way to verify that. I am worried that if they are lying all the registrations will already be used up? Thoughts?
