What are the system requirements for M2TW?

This is probably a silly question, since I bought a fairly nice computer a few days ago that should be fine. Still, given my ignorance of all things computer related(except that higher numbers usually=good). Is this one ok? A friend says I may need to replace the video card but he only plays first person shooters that I'm told suck up memory.

Processor: AMD Athlon(TM) 64 X2 4200+ dual-core - 2.2GHz

Memory: 2GB DDR2-533MHz dual channel SDRAM (2x1024)

Hard Drive: Some gigantic number of gigabites.

Video card: Either NVIDIA GeForce 7300LE, w/ TurboCache, or NVIDIA GeForce 7500LE, TV-Out, DVI, VGA, I think.

I'm pulling this numbers from the hp website, I'm actually on a different comp at the office.

Also, what does a dual core processor do? The salesguy said it effectively means my processor runs programs at double the stated speed. In this case I guess that would be 4.4 GHz.

oops sorry...

np m8. Would be nice, if a 32GHZ CPU would exists. But I guess, the game developer would be able to program laggy games also on this machine.

I have a laptop with a 2.4ghz pentium 4, 1024megs of ram and a ATI Radeon 7500 64meg card.

I don't plan on buying M2TW because of the requirements. I think my system is ok, but my video card blows chunks.

Would I be able to run Medieval 2 on low settings with this:

Dell DIMENSION 8250 Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.4 GHz 512 Mb of RAM
RADEON 9500 PRO

Thanks,
Undertaker.

I know my comp. will not be able to run MTW 2 (1.2 GHZ CPU, 384 DDR,and a GeForce 7500 256 RAM0, but my question is what should i buy:
CPU evidently, but how strong?
RAM's evidently, but how many?
and is my video card good enough?
And if my little knowledge about computers are correct, i also need to replace my motherboard in order that my future new CPU should work, isn't it?

Hi All,

I know I'm pushing my luck here with a non-MTW query but I have a graphics problems & wondered if anyone had any advice.

I have an nvidia fx5500 & MTW2 runs OK on low settings with all the options off! I have tried to upgrade before but found that the newer cards don't fit into my dell motherboard - the slots are different shapes (to use the technical phrase!).

Any help would ne much appreciated, I did try to ring dell but as anyone in the UK will be able to tell you, they have moved from Ireland & are now impossible to use.

Thanks in advance

Henry
