    I agree. IMHO, today, the AMD 64 is superior to any Intel processor.

    BTW, in a Celeron 466, RTW runs!!! Although 3-4 fps isn't very playable...

    At a new top-secret (non-CA) location, surrounded by lots of steel and glass, high atriums, hordes of lovely marketing ladies, and with a new and spacious desk with plenty of room for body-moving.

    In fact, the game will run all the way down to P2's ... there are no real capabilties it needs other than raw power. Graphics cards are a different matter though. We may still try and get it reliably useable on all 32 mb cards (at the moment it's about 90%) as a patch, but unfortunately that's one that got away.

    BaHaha, I have that mobo - so crappy for ocing, but very stable otherwise.

    It supports AMD Athlon XP 1500+ - 2000+ @ 266Mhz FSB.
