    If you can find out specifically what kind of card, that would be helpful. However, the rest sounds fine. Nice choice on buying a 64-bit 3000 series by the way. Those things are hella good.

    Apparently my 3200+ has a clock speed of 2.01GHz, but on account of it being 64-bit, it's more like 3GHz.

    Well don't quote me on this but i'm almost sure I heard a dev say something like, if you can run mtw2 you can run empire.

    Now what does this mean? I don't really know.

    I'd assume this means you can play the campaign just fine, have battles just fine, and enjoy decent graphics. If you look closely you'll notice it is indeed the same engine as MTW2 so if you could get high details on that, you can get high details on this.

    However as there are more animations, ai, and stuff, I'd think the question will come to unit count.
    How many units can I battle with and see them awesome?

    I'd say if you could run mtw2 good, probably 2k v 2k is good, 4k v 4k your limit.

    If you have dual core and 2 gigs you can probably go to max.

    1.5 I don't know, depends on where you buy your memory from. I mean there are diferent qualities of memory.

    My advice is go to www.systemrequirementslab.com

    Test your pc.

    Forget whatever you bought, got sold, or made, test it. That site will show what it actually will be rated at as some things outperform (or under perform) depending on who made them.

    New comp will have Core 2 Duo Extreme 2.8GHZ, 4GB RAM, 512 video card 8800GTX, probably try to do SLI.

    Should be plentiful room to run on MAX.

    I've recently got a new graphics card which is the maximum my PC can get to without having
    to replace it, but it was made in 2004 so it's not all that gr8 at all. But there r thoughts of
    getting a new one around Christmas. Apparently Empire will be more compatible even for it's
    graphics so it's likely that if you can work MIITW then you should be able to work Empire, though
    likely with some more lag.

    Since every1 is saying their system specs I might as well tell a quick bit.

    Im 100% sure your rig cannot max M2TWKingdoms...And by maxxed I mean: 8 armies of 3000 soldiers each in custom battles...
    Even a QUad Core Extreme a $1200 CPU struggles...

    Ahhh the folly of youth, getting up when one pleases, heading out on a Saturday morning, buying truckloads of PC parts, connecting them all together, switching on, blowing the whole lot up and going back out again to do the very same all over again. Happy days.
