    I want to use the Xbox live / Games For Windows Live interface on my computer and I was wondering, which G4WL game has the lowest recommended settings ? Tha way I could use the Guide interface on my computer, which is not a gaming PC....

    thanks

    Just scanned through a few and it seems The Club has the lowest requirements, 2ghz, xp and vista, 512mb ram, small hard disk space, recommended is not that much higher either.

    Might be worth going to http://www.yougamers.com/ and running your PC for each game and see where it places you.  Here is The Club

    Here is a list of GFW Live titles

    If you have Vista, Halo 2 is also reasonably low on the reqs.

    They really need to implement the guide into Vista atleast, just so I can check what my friends are doing without having to load up a game or turn on the box. I know about that XBlist program, but it kind of sucks.

    That is exactly what I want LOL. not having to go to xbox.com to see what my friends are up to...

    And why not make it a part of Messenger ? It does work the other way around on xbox 360.

    They have talked about a separate client for GFW Live for some time now, it's been a long time coming.

    Of course they just reignited the talk with rumours about distributing games via GFW Live. I very much doubt they make you go into a game just to buy a game. I think it's not unrealistic to see a separate client out before the year ends.
