System requirements for X³ - is my PC good enough?

[CBJ]

What are the system requirements for X³?

The following requirements were published in X-Universe News issue 18 in July 2005 and should match what is printed on the game packaging:

Minimum Requirements

Operating System: Windows 98 SE, ME, 2000, XP
CPU Type and speed: Pentium IV (or AMD equivalent) 1.7 GHz
Memory: 512MB RAM
Hard drive space: 2GB of disk space
Graphics card: 128MB 3D DirectX 9 compatible card (not onboard) with Pixel Shader 1.3 support
Optical media: DVD-ROM drive

Recommended Requirements

Operating System: Windows 98 SE, ME, 2000, XP
CPU Type and speed: Pentium IV (or AMD equivalent) 2.4 GHz
Memory: 1GB RAM
Hard drive space: 2GB of disk space
Graphics card: 256MB 3D DirectX 9 compatible card (not onboard) with Pixel Shader 2.0 support
Optical media: DVD-ROM drive

Which graphics cards support pixel shader 1.3/2.0?

The following list shows the capabilities of the cards. It is not a list of cards specifically supported for X³. However, if your card is not on the list then there is a good chance that it won't be able to run X³. For example cards such as the GeForce4 MX series (commonly the MX440 and the MX4000) are definitely not capable of running the game.
