What are the system requirements for M2TW?

[Eusebius86]

I have an outdated Pentium 4 Processor @ 3.2GHz, 1.5 GB DDR2 RAM, 7200 RPM Seagate HD, and a brand new Geforce 7600GT. I can run the game on almost the highest graphic settings on 1280x1024 without experiencing any lag.

I know that the game supports dual-core processors, but does it actually take advantage of them? I'm eye-balling an AMD FX2 5300+ on Newegg.com for only $125 right now... I'm just not ready to purchase a different motherboard.

Hello Eusebius86,

I know that the game supports dual-core processors, but does it actually take advantage of them? I'm eye-balling an AMD FX2 5300+ on Newegg.com for only $125 right now... I'm just not ready to purchase a different motherboard.

M2:TW alone doesn't take advantage of the extra core. The Kingdoms add-on is claimed to do so, but the research of some members seems to state otherwise.
Hope this helps, good luck, cheers!

I finally picked this up a couple of weeks ago. I was enjoying most of it right away...until I got into siege situations. The whole thing spit and stuttered like a car with an inefficient exhaust system. It slowed to an absolute crawl. Dipping into task manager to close down "unnecessary" items didn't work too well.

As of right now I have an Asrock board with 2.4 GHz chip, and 512MB 184 pin RAM, and 512 168 pin RAM. I am looking at swapping out the 184 pin for a 1GB stick but I don't know if 1GB 168 pin RAM is available. Will the extra 500GB help? I'm really not sure.

I've been thinking about building my own box lately, and this might be the thing that pushed me over the brink.
