hi all, i have a athlon xp 3.2 barton core and a radeaon 9600xt gfx card. the system specs for the game are as follows:

“Recommended Specs”

CPU: 2.4 GHz dual core or better is recommended

RAM: 1GB for XP; 2GB for Vista is recommended

Harddrive: 8GB of free hard drive space

Video card: 3.0 Shader Support recommended. Nvidia Geforce 7800 or better or ATI Radeon X1800 or better

“Required (min) Specs”

CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 2.4 GHz or AMD(R) Athlon(TM)

64 2800+ processor or any 1.8Ghz Dual Core Processor or better supported

RAM: 512MB RAM (768MB for Windows Vista)

Harddrive: 8GB of free hard drive space

Video card (generic): NVIDIA(R) Geforce(TM) 6600 or better or ATI(R) Radeon(R) 9800Pro or better

i'm aware that the gfx card needs updating and as my card is AGP i have seen available the following cards and was wondering if they will do the job.

is there a difference other than price for the above 2?

anyone?

Your CPU does not meet the minimum requirements. You really need to upgrade it. and as it is a Socket A chip you would need to also upgrade the board. This would mean you would need to upgrade the memory as well, which means really you need to get a new machine.

You could try upgrading your gfx card and running it on your present kit, but I think it would be as fast as a glacier, sorry.

it is possible to play it mate

I had it working on an athlon xp2200, with a 7600gs card.

Worked fine, even in MP.
