OK, just to back up my humble yet capable system
, look at <A HREF="http://www.prophecy.co.za/default.php?p_section=article&aid=311" target="_new">this review</A>, and the following quote from the conclusion:
<b>"Overall MOHPA is a cutting edge, graphically intensive and demanding game. The downside is you need a really powerful machine to run it with all the eye-candy it was intended to deliver. EA lists the minimum specs as 1.5 GHz processor, 512 MB Ram and 3.0 GB disc space, ATI Radeon 8500 and higher or NVIDIA GeForce3 or greater, expect GeForce4 MX. I would more be more inclined to suggest 2.8 GHz or higher, 1 GB Ram, and at least the ATI x800 series or NVIDIA 6800 series."</b>
PHEW, I am not losing it, how dare you insult my PC. :lol: :tongue: *pats Gamer on it's shiny antec case, "it's ok big feller, that mean THGC guy can't hurt you now, I know you rock." *
See unlike HL2 and D3 that were designed to run on a slow machine, EA didn't put that kind of time into MOHPA. A GF4MX can not run it. GF3, Radeon 8500 or higher, EXCEPT the GF4MX, as well as 512MB ram and 1.5GHz CPU minimum! Now we of course wouldn't want to play HL2, Farcry, D3 on 256MB ram, but that is the minimum spec. MOHPA says 512MB minimum. Too my knowledge it is the first game i have seen that 512MB is declared the minimum, although obviously to us gamers, 512MB has been the minimum for quite a while now.
And that review recommending AT LEAST a X800 or GF6800 series card? Wow, and what's up with that. Jumping ahead for the future. Those are the top cards, how can it be at least. :tongue:
