[UnitQ]

By any chance Firaxis will lower the RAM

That means theres hope for the ram to be lower

I can run civ4 (but i already knew that), my graphics card just falls short of the reccomended setting though.

It says I can run Batle Feild 2 when I cant.

 

[Genocidicbunny]

[Gojira54]

I already know what I am lacking-Video Card and RAM, but I am getting those next week, so BRING IT ON Firaxis, I'm ready for ya !
Hmmm, might actually get Doom3 too, now that I will have the necessary RAM .

SRTEST tells me that I have everything that I need to run CIV IV but when I go to see if it is optimized it tells me that my graphics card (128 MB GeForce 5200) is not good enough. But it does like my dual 2.8 GHz P.IV processors and 768 MB RAM.

 

[vbraun]

It thinks my AMD 3500+ is overclocked to 3.5ghz. (I wish!)

 

[dannyevilcat]

It failed me for running XP x64 :shakehead

That test needs some updating, methinks.

Video Cards seems to be the sticky points for recomended. it doesn't matter if your cards has ALL the "recomended" pure stats : if it's lower than a certain number in the GeForce (5600) or Radeon (9800) lines, you auto-fail.

 

[Aussie_Lurker]

3.5 Gigaherz. Sheesh, and here I was thinking my 2.4 Gigaherz CPU was fast !! Yours,

My Radeon 9600 passed just fine.
