Title: AH2 lite version
Post by: Ike 2K# on September 21, 2003, 08:46:26 PM: Would HTC release an AH "lite version" [remember the times when you had to download a less "eye-candy" version of AH?] for those who have PCs 700mhz or lower? I think if HTC plans to release a "lite version", it would save players $5000 or more just to gear up on AH2.

Post by: Ike 2K# on September 21, 2003, 09:05:02 PM: ok ok, im just exaggerating the cost of upgrading or buying a PC just to gear up for AH2.

Post by: Octavius on September 21, 2003, 09:07:20 PM: You should slap yourself for not upgrading to a cheapo "fast" system. $100 bucks will get ya a 1.2ghz AMD cpu + motherboard... RAM = 40 bucks more.

No one is forcing you to upgrade, but you should "get with the times" :D

Post by: Manedew on September 21, 2003, 11:36:55 PM: i speant about 250$ -=without video card/monitor=-
on a t-bird 1.2 ghz, a bit of ram (had some useable pc100 stuff laying around) and an abit kt7a - a new case/ps

this was 2+ years ago.. your getting riped off if you pay more...and no i didn't buy it off the net .. got it from loacal dealer (not compusa, bestbuy etc.... i mean, a real guy ... mom and pop .... you know real people)

and if you don't know how to build a computer .. learn ... it's as easy as pluging in your DVD :)... almost.

in this day and age I wouldn't pay much more than 100-130$ for a mobo or chip unless it's top of the line .. and you don't need 3.xGhz I imagine.... 1-2.x Ghz will do just fine... just be wise on your chipset choice

Post by: ergRTC on September 22, 2003, 10:51:12 AM: your gonna have problems finding a board that combines a p4 and pc133. In fact, I dont think they ever existed.

Dude, get yourself a p4/mb/ram combo for next to nothing.

and why on earth would you want a lite version? ISNT THAT WHAT WE ARE PLAYING NOW!!!!!!

Post by: Charon on September 22, 2003, 11:06:42 AM: What Zanth said. Newegg is even running a bundled combo of a biostar mini atx MB with a 1800 AMD xp for $63. I don't even need the hardware but I'm still tempted to buy it because it's so cheap :)

Post by: HavocTM on September 23, 2003, 09:18:29 AM: Video card won't be enough. That is the critical factor from what I am hearing about AH2. You need a GeForce/Radeon class card to be able to get any satisfaction out of the game.
