As many of us know, having a computer just above the recommended is not very useful, including long load times etc. So this is a guide I've put together for newcomers to read. I piece of advice. If you've played the game an your system doesn't not reach the minimum specs, and you enjoy, you may need to look into upgrades or living with the slowness. Minimum system specs CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2Ghz RAM: 1GB+ DDR2 GPU: Nvidia GeForce MX 440+ (64mb)* HDD: 3GB Connection: ADSL or better Reccomended system specs CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.5Ghz+ RAM: 2GB+ DDR2 GPU: ATi Radeon 2400 XT (265mb) HDD: 3GB Connection: ADSL or better *Please note, only having a 64MB graphics card is fine and played CA will be good, but having the better graphics card will just make it look better. If you have any questions, just ask.
I used to play with Onboard integrated graphics, and 512 mb of ram. Playable, but not fun. Just adding 1 GB of ram made it awesome, but then I got a graphics card. Lol . Still working on my new pc, need to get some more parts.
If you play on 512mb of RAM, then you processor has to be good or else it ill take more than 5 minutes to load in. But you should have 1GB of RAM is your going to play it well.
1.5 GB right now, Nvidia 7300 LE, 3.06 GHz processor . Fast, but not the best. Meh, it does the job for now.
Go Control>System OR Click "Run" for Windows XP and the "Search" bar on the bottom of the start panel for Windows Vista. Now type in "DxDiag" without " ". Then click on the corresponding tabs you want to find out about your computer.
