A bit of bad news for those with Wide Screens.
http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11658
It seems like 2k games has not given proper wide-screen support in Bioshock. Though wide-screen resolutions are available, they have taken a shortcut approach. The FOV remains the same as that of non-ws resolutions. So for WS users, a part of the view is cut off. Hope its fixed soon...
Edit: Oops.. They have already made a WS Hack for Bioshock.

Well finished the demo yesterday. This is the best game I've played since Deus Ex. I'm dying to buy the full version once its out. I ran it in Vista for the DX10 effects. There was a bit of low fps issues at 1680x1050, 4xAA maxed on an 8800 ultra. I need an SLI board soon so that my other ultra can be put to use.

I downloaded and played the demo yesterday.
Settings I used are 1680 x 1050 resolution and all settings at max. DX10 surfaces was off since I had a Radeon 1900XT and Force Global Lighting was off.
I got about 35~40 FPS on average, peaked between 55~60 FPS and lowest was 28 FPS (which was for an instant).
This game is very much playable at high resolution even with a previous gen high end card.
The gameplay is superb. There are multiple ways to do the same thing. Me too waiting for this game to release in India. Already asked my Local Planet M dealer to get it for me if he can source it.
I suppose my above comments answers your questions.

Whats that about the two time install limit. :S I didnt hear anything about that. That would be a major reason for people not to purchase the game. The steam version is a bit costly for purchase in India going by the Indian prices of the titles.
Anyways, this seems to be not yet available in India yet. the SAARC edition should most probably be published by Milestone. I have mailed them, but got no response.

Its increased to 5 now. But still a stoopid thing to do.
Did some re(google)search on it and put it in a separate thread here. That too, the limit is not restricted to Retail DVD, its present in forms of acquiring the game.http://www.techenclave.com/forums/bioshock-install-limit-96790.html

Heres the Min and Recommended System Requirements
The Min system requirements state a 2.4 GHz Processor, 1 GB RAM and a nVidia GeForce 6600 or better GPU.
So faheem, your processor and GPU barely match the Min specs and RAM is 512 mb short. I dont think Bioshock will be able to run, and even if it runs at a very low resolution, you are not goona enjoy it much.
Keane, I guess you should be able to run the game at low resolution and medium quality settings.
Before playing the demo, I had hardly expected the game to run at high resolutions on my 1900XT. But my card handled it well enough to be playable. Still the game brought by card to its knees and there are very few games currently that can do that. The UT engines have always been very scalable and the same goes for UT3 Engine. But we can hardly expect it to run well on two generations old hardware.
