Slow computer
Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2005 3:03 am
Is anyone playing with an inferior computer. My processor is only 750 MHz but I meet all other requirements.
Installed game on work machine to try out lower specs, as well as game box at home.
Compaq Laptop, P3 (1 Ghz)
16 Mb graphics (don't laugh)
256 MB RAM
Set game up to run using 16bit graphics, windowed, no sounds, limited animations, no combat anim.
It runs OK, although the map scrolling shudders. WinXP does warn about low memory and grabs more pagefile mem on the hdd, slowing things down.
Tried it for half an hour, so YMMV.
Basically playable, although a bit slow.
Hope this helps.

BTW, I am pretty sure RAM and Video mem are the bottlenecks for this game (which is quite odd for a wargame...); so if you meet those, CPU should be quite allright.
