Motep,
That will again depend on the rest of what he has and how satisfied he will be to turn down the settings and the unit size. I may have mentioned we used a 5500 OC from BFG for RTW. A straight 5500 can run RTW for sure. Not great, but it does if you don't turn on all the eye candy (I think we also used a straight 5500 from Norwood as I can see the box balanced about ten feet above me on top of a bookshelf but that took even more patience or trade off of eye candy).

I'm not sure which forum I read it on ( I have been surfing the org, TWC, and the .com forums the last 24 hours), but somewhere I recall someone with something like a 5200 saying they had a hard time with the game. We will make a stab at the 5500 with the gold demo. I had meant to do that anyway before work took me away for a month. Nota Bene: we will be using at least a 2ghz rated Athlon or Sempron (single core) and 2gigs of DDRam. If the gold demo runs passably, the game will run better by all accounts. We will have the results probably by later this morning and post here (as it is not a full game test in that "other" thread (grin).
