System Requirements

Your RAM will probably not be enough to play without lag. Many who experience crashes or freezes on the battlemap have very little RAM, possibly you'll get some of that too. Your number is a curious one though, what did you do to the last megabyte? Scratched one chip, killing a million flip-flops

?

I have no idea - just reading off the specs given by the Computer Control Panel System Pane. It's running Vista Home Premium. Thanks for the comments - still downloading for another 30-odd minutes so will update when (if) I can install it correctly!

Ah, it's probably the BIOS not recognizing a few MB. Happens all the time; especially with hard drive space.

The missing hard drive space is because a portion of the space is used when formatting it, assigning addresses for all the rest of the drive so your OS knows how to work it, where there is occupied and free space etc. Can't remember ever seeing it reported false for memory, but it won't matter.

I had to upgrade a system from 1GB of RAM to 2GB of ram, just because EB was sputtering after a couple hours of game play :)

I'm at 3 gigs right now. EB will take up almost 2 gigs by itself after a few hours...

What's the rest of your PC then?!

I found 2Gb of RAM to be way beyond sufficient for EB - actually EB runs much faster than Vanilla did on my previous system... (If I don't toggle the FOW to monitor AI expansion, that is.)
