Thief DS minimum audio/video card requirements?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.thief-dark-project (More info?)

I know it was posted here before, but what are the minimum audio and
video card requirements for Thief: DS?
I picked up a cheap 2.8 Gigahertz machine with 512 megs of ram and an
80 gig hard drive. It has on board video and sound card, which I know
won't work with Thief: DS. I have 3 PCI slots and one 2x/4x AGP slot and
trying for the cheapest route to upgrade.
Any suggestions?
Albert

T3 was barely playable with my old GF3 Ti200, but
after upgrading to Radeon 9600pro it seems to run just
fine in 800x600 with all details except multisampling maxed.

Hey Albert,

I've been running the demo with my system with no problems at all,
don't know if the full version is far more taxing. The Ti4200 is a
very fine card, if you can still find it it would likely be very
cheap.

Good Luck,

Griffin
