Prepare to be amazed at my system of:

P4 1.7
128MB RDRAM
64MB GEFORCE2
20GB HD

And after some intensive tweaking with the help of (http://www.alloutgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1032) All out Games, the game runs pretty well... Though after 3-4 hours, you'll have to restart and let the memory be restored. Loading times are tolerable and overall, you'll have a decent time. Could be so much better but when you have no choice, it's fine. It's playable at the least.

In towns, the FPS can get pretty shitty. Around 20-50.
In the wilderness, around 50-70.
Inside caves, houses or anything that is considered interior, 50-120.

Finished the main quest with a Celeron 433 and a TNT2 video card!

Also get Spybot - Search & Destroy from download.com since Lavasoft Ad-aware will miss a few here and there. After using both programs on a friends comp I found more than 500 spywares (malware, programs, keyloggers, etc) which were loading/running/closing every couple of seconds and lagging every game that he played.

Are you serious? The slowest machine I've played it on is an Athlon 1.2GHz with a Radeon 7200 and 256 Megs of RAM, and it runs pretty good at 1024x768, but nothing like my Radeon 9700 @ 1600x1200 :)

Hi,

Been playing for a month now with a PIII-733. TNT-2 Graphics card (32mb) and 256 mb SDRAM.

Isn't all that fast. Almost all viewsettings(AI distance, shadows, etc) are reduced to zero or off, 640x480 of course. Using an fps-optimiser to determine viewdistance.

But what really kicked it up to acceptable speed was turning off sound. Those mp3 decoders eat a lot of CPU power (yeah I know, PIII ?? what power ? :p).

Still it's ok. Just make sure you have a reasonable amount of virtual memory (seems to prevents crashes a bit) and you really need a 7200 rpm harddisk (yes, 5400 -does- still exist :rolleyes: )

It seems to run fine on my old rig, Athlon 850mhz, 512MB RAM, 3D Prophet II MX...
