Associate Joined: 24-March 06	Hey, the official forums are clogged so I thought you might be able to comment on my specs: P4 1,7 GHz 756 mb (SD-RAM!) - I can buy another 512mb so it will probably be sufficient Asus V9950 GeForce FX5900 As you can see I lack a bit of processor power and RAM. From what I've read, the graphics card pretty much determines whether you can play the game or not. According to this website(scroll a bit down), my graphics card is mid-range, unlike other cards of the FX series, so what I'm really worried about is the processor. What do you think, can I possibly tweak the game so it's playable and not too ugly-looking? I especially want to decrease CPU usage. Thanks. -a
