My advice is that you buy dual core cpu processor instead pentium D. It is much better (processing/operations/a lot lower core temperature/etc) and it has a lot lower consumption then pentium D.

Just a thought.

As long as it's an Intel Core2Duo - they're the ultimate chip in performance, price and heat / energy. The AMD dual cores are not as good.

I'm buying a tablet pc laptop (for reasons unrelated to tw), but I'd love to know if it'll be good enough.

Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 / 1.66 GHz ( Dual-Core )
1GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 TurboCache supporting 256MB - 128 MB

I have no idea what that means, but I hope it's good.

should be ok to run it at 1280x800 on medium settings.

Fairly naff graphics card, i'm afraid, but the rest is good spec

Graphics card is weak.

Just a quick warning to be careful with an upgrade to Intel Core 2 Duo. While they need a socket LGA 775, not all socket LGA 775 motherboards will support these processors (Intel changed the power requirements when Core 2 Duo was released).

So check your motherboard. Fortunately, with Core 2 Duo looking like the coming thing, this should be relatively easy as marketing types will be keen to plaster their copy with "Core 2 Duo compatible" type slogans.

Almost forgot: also note that there is an earlier Intel product line called "Core Duo" but these are different from the (much more recommended) "Core 2 Duo".

my specs

PIV 1,4 Ghz
768 DDRam
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256 Mb

demo was better than expected, played around with graphic settings, those large battles seemed to go 15-25 fps, some laggynes only on Azteca battle, toher batlles went nice (units high, buildings low, medium effects, no vync, no AA, med vegetation, low/no grass, 1024 res...)

hope that full version goes even better, what do you think, will that be the case ?
