Author Topic: Do I have enough Computer for AH? (Read 185 times)

Dune · « **on:** September 20, 1999, 06:37:00 PM »

To those who know:

I am running a P200MMX, 6.4mb, S3Virge Vid Card (doesn't run WB in 3d but is fine for Hi-Res 2d) and a Soundblaster 16 compatible.

I am looking forward to trying the new game. I just have no way of upgrading to play it.

If there is a way to overclock enough to run it or if I can play at all right now I'd like to know.

Thanks in advance,

You do realise that AH doesn't come in a 2D flavor?

Wasn't sure but that is the type of thing I was afraid of....

3D Cards are darn cheap nowadays and considered standard PC-gamer equipment by the industry/developers. Go buy one now!

OK, now we've seen 3D capability is a must, lets address the basic question here...

What kind of machine will provide minimally acceptable performance in AH? If this fellow were to add a 4MB VooDooI daughterboard to his P200MMX/64MB RAM/S3Virge machine, would he be able to cut the mustard? (This would be a really cheap upgrade for him, less than $50.)

I know it runs good on a PII 266 with a voodooII. The P200 might be on the slow side do to slow floating point performace.

We havn't found min. system requirements yet and thats somthing the beta will tell us.
