Post by: Elvicat on May 20, 2007, 09:54:59 pm

yeah as the topic sais, what's the oldest computer you have run this game on?

right, lets start with my current project  ;D
a pentium 3 500mhz, 256mb ecc ram, 2 scsi hard drives 1 18gb the other 4gb~ and my older grafics card, geforce 3 titanium 500 64mb and to my surprice the game actually runs, not really smoothly with the swapping but it run and i can play the game :D
could do with 256mb more ecc ram on this one and... maybe it would run more smoothly  ;D

heres my first test on a really really old one lol
pentium 233mmx, 128mb ram, 2 hds 1 7gb and 1 3 gb, 2 grafics cards 1 for 2d and the other 3d hope some remember thouse old voodoo 2 cards ;)

this didn't turn out so well as the game ran on the 2d card  :P and missed the other one so i just got flat surface  ::)

Well, my current computer is old as the world (of the internet). So, in common language, my computer is about 10 years old (the internet was first popularly used in 1996). For the specs, here they are:

Code: [Select]

Intel Pentium III processor
548MHz
768MB of Ram
the rest I don't know

Most processors don't run at EXACTLY the clock frequency marked on the box due to the fact they multiply the clock oscillator's frequency up using a PLL and most PLL's can't multiply by 3.43 (yet).
