  • ATI: Radeon 7x00 series or older.
  • nVidia: GeForce4 MX, GeForce3, GeForce2 or older.
  • Matrox: Millennium (all versions - I don't have data on the Parhelia).
  • Intel: Extreme (all versions).

Good work guys. Was hoping for a little more game info but thats life. My specs should be fine but I'm going to adopt my normal stance and wait and see how it plays.

So I DO have to get a new vid card and a DVD Rom. :| Other then that I'll be above minimum requirements, but below recommended requirements.

My system should run it well, but i'm not so sure about my graphics card. I currently have an 128mb ATI radeon 9800 AIW. The requrements say this will run the game, but will i have to run it in 800 by 600 with all options turned off just to get an acceptable framerate?

Hmm only 3 things in that issue and 2 i already knew. I was expecting something alot better. Ah well.

I am woundering now though with the specs info out now. I know its guessing really on their part as specs will change more likely. But it says minimum gfx card to be 128mb and i have a gf4 ti4200 64ddr. The 64mb version is faster than the 128mb version that is well known but im woundering will my card be ok.

The raw speed of the card will not help much if there isn't enough RAM on-board to handle the graphics, since a lot of time will then be spent swapping data to and from the card.

The GF4 Ti4200 is at the very bottom of the range of cards that have the required features to run the game according to these specifications, so even if the game does run with less graphics memory then you will presumably have to expect pretty basic performance.
