The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena was recently released.

2 years ago I had enjoyed playing "The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay" and had reached up to a pretty far point into the game, but didn't complete it due to time restrains at the time.

I have the following queries:

1. It seems that there is a "Remastered" version of butcher's bay included in the package, so it might be a good deal to purchase Athena and finally complete the prequel at the same time.
How much of an improvement in the graphics department is this remastered version of Butcher's Bay by the way?

2. I also noticed that there is a limitation on the number of times you can install the original game in you PC!
What's this nonsense?! What if I format and re-install Windows after the 3rd time?
If that's the case, what's the point of buying the original then?

The PC version of the game comes with a similar type of DRM system as the earlier released Electronic Arts Game: Spore, with Atari citing 'combating early piracy' [11] as the reason for its implementation. The DRM system is similar in that it limits user with three total installs during the entire lifetime of the game and would require connection with an online server to verify the install.
3. What are the system requirements for Dark Athena?
How well would it play on my rig on highest settings @ 1280x1024?
Intel C2D E6600 @ 2.4GHZ
2GB 800MHZ
GeForce 8800GT 512MB
WinXP Pro

Thanks in advance
