Games specs

I know this might be somewhere else in the forum but what's the recommended specs required for the game and AE if its different.

The reason i saked is I'm thinking of buying a laptop but it has to be able to run the game without difficulty.

Sorry I should aslo have said under Vista if that makes a difference.

I'm planning to run it on a high-end MacBook Pro using Boot Camp.

depends somewhat on memory, but on average any new laptop/desktop on sale today should run the game just fine.

AE is probably going to be a lot more memory intensive (for one thing, there are a lot more hexes, a lot more unit slots, etc.) - so go for memory if you can.

For the original WitP:

Windows 98\ME\2000\XP
600Mhz Pentium III
128 MB RAM
8 MB graphics card
DirectX 8.0 compatible sound card
DirectX version 8.0
600 MB disk space
8x CD ROM
keyboard and mouse

I don't think the minimum specification for the expansion has been announced but with more ships and more map hexes I would expect it to go up.

From the WitP AE page:

Windows 98SE / ME / 2000 / XP
CPU: 2.0 Ghz minimum, 3.0 Ghz recommended
Video/Graphics: 128M minimum, 256M recommended
RAM: 512MB minimum, 1GB recommended
1 GB free Hard Disc space
DirectX version: 9.0 or later
Direct X compatible Soundcard
8x CD-ROM


So it will take a bit more computer to run it and probably a considerable upgrade to get really fast turns.
