The "Would my PC be able to run M2TW?" thread (all such queries here pls)

[redriver]

ok I ran this demo on 3 different systems now. the specs are as follows:

System 1:
P4 1.6 1024 ddr ti4200 128mb Win2k PRO

System 2:
P4 3.0 1024 ddr Radeon 9200 SE 256mb Win XP Home

System 3:
P4 3.0 2048 ddr X1300 512mb Win XP M/C


All systems were able to run the demo no probs.
System 1 and System 2 had all graphic options set to LOW or OFF(grass) in order to get best performance. anythin' higher than that would slow things down noticably!
System 1 ran the game much smoother than System 2 with exaclty the same demo graphics settings.
System 3 was able to run the game on HIGH with shadows OFF for best performance(noticable lag with shadows enabled).


Conclusion:
System 3 had the best performance of the 3 with system 1 bein' second best.
Interestly enough, graphics card have the most impact on the performance and CPU/memory not so much.
It seems like this demo will not satisfy anybody with less than high end or state-of-the-art computers! That is if one to expect both visual quality and acceptable performance.

It's important to note that all 3 systems were in great shape and that System 2 had a fresh copy of Windows and drivers and everything just installed from scratch.
