Title: Specs for AH2
Post by: Hawklore on June 24, 2004, 01:19:09 PM

What are the requirements for AH2?

I'd appreciate it cause my mom was wanting to know what kind of specs I wanted on a computer, so I chose Aces High 2 as the game to play. :)

Hawklore,

That is it....however that is the BARE minimum to run AH2!  Depending on what you want to spend you can get a great system that will blow the socks off the game or you can spend a little less and still have a great system.

I went all out with mine and it rocks!  I only use it for AH2.

If you have existing components you would like to use from an old system you can probably use them.

Again there is no easy answer to your needs in the game....If you are starting from scratch and want a new system just keep in mind a price and keep in mind what your goal is with the system.  Do you want to run it at full 1600x1200 resolution with all the graphics bells and whistles? Or do you just want to run the game in low resolution with good frame rates?

Good luck

Take care

:)

Minimum requirement almost always undershoot.

My requirements would be:

1.4 Athlon / 1.8 P4  
512 DDR at 266
Radeon 9500 / Geforce 5200
7200 RPM hard disk
broadband connection
joystick

i think what he wants to know (as do others) is , will a celron 2.x with a built in vid card run AH2 half decent?

and don't tell me to go build my own super computer.

John,

"half decent" is a relative term....

You *might* be able to *sorta* run AH2 with onboard video if it has the 32 meg and has hardware transform and lighting or you run 3danalyze or another TNL emulator.  I doubt that your gaming experience from this would be worth $15 a month, whereas by spending $50, give or take, for a decent low end Geforce 440 or ATI equivalent, you would get as much enjoyment out of AH2 as the folks running 64 bit cpus and top tier vid cards.
