Hey,

Is it any good?
Could I run it with my specs?

Also, I would appriciate it if any body could post some of their screens of the game...

I'm thinking of getting it!
Thanks a lot!

should run on medium settings with that card.
im not familiar with the Athlon 64 2400+
its not a sempron is it? if it is you may want to upgrade that. the physics arent super complicated but with multiple enemies a sempron may not be able to keep up.
do you mean 4200+?
id upgrade the sound card, integrated = crap. i didnt notice when i upgraded, but when i downgraded temporarily i realized how bad integrated was.

what type of hard drive? i definitely noticed the biggest difference in oblivion when i upgraded to RAID 0

its DEFINITELY worth the money though. $50 seems like a lot at first, but once you really get immersed in the game you'll realize why it costs that much... because of the amount of time they MUST have put into programming a game as extensive as this one.

I got my own specs wrong, lol, I correct them now...

It's an AMD Athlon XP 2400+

It does look REALLY good!

Heres what it looks like on my X700 Pro, so it should look even better with your card.

They look awesome, I really like the look of the second to last Screenshot! Thanks.

Brilliant game, I spent 100+ hours on it and had to format my hard drive lol. I would definatley reccomend the game to anyone, if it doesnt run on your specifications, then sell it.

What motherboard do you have?

I'm not sure which video card to buy for playin this game. X1300 good enuf?

Kornowski · 11-14-2006, 10:00 AM

This is a stupid question but how do I find that out?

Is there any software that you guys would recomend that can tell me the complete list of hardware, specs, stuff like that?

You know that some high end 256 cards are better than low end 512's.
Mines not a bad card, worth looking into, Only set me back £130.
