This is our current system requirements:
- Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1/Windows 7
- 2.2 Ghz Pentium IV or equivalent AMD Athlon processor
- 1 GB system RAM/1.5 GB for Vista and Windows 7
- 128 MB NVidia GeForce 6600 GT/ATI Radeon 9800 PRO video card
- 1024x768 minimum display resolution
- 4 GB free hard space (Beta)
- Broadband connection
It seems there's a few questions regarding what type of processors and video cards meet and exceed it.
Processors
These are more of generalizations.
- Athlon processors do not meet the system requirements. They're the old Thunderbird models and go up to 1.2 GHz.
- Athlon XP processors with a rating of 2200+ and above will meet it.
- Athlon 64 processors tend to meet it. The very low-end Athlon 64 may not. Check your clock speeds. Anything at or higher than 2.0GHz is a safe bet.
- For Sempron types, you'll want a higher clock speed to make up for it lacking in other areas. Sempron processors fall across their Socket 478-more current types so you may want to see what type you have using CPU-Z. http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
- First generation AMD Phenom processors (ending in 00) will work but you need to be aware of the TLB fix. It has a pretty substantial performance drop so you might see choppiness.
- Phenom processors ending in 50 do not have this problem. All but the slowest models will meet the system requirements
- Athlon II and Phenom II should all be faster than the minimum requirements.
- Pentium III processors do not meet the requirements
- Pentium IV/D processors at 2.2GHz and above meet it.
- Intel Core 2 around 1.8GHz is a rough area but should be able to play it. 2.0GHz is probably closer to what it wants.
- Intel Celeron processors fall under a lot of different families of chips. There are those based off of the Pentium 4 of different types and those based off of Core 2. You may want to check what type you have using CPU-Z http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
- Intel i3/i5/i7 exceed the minimum requirements.
Video card
We require a GeForce 6600 or Radeon 9800 video card in terms of performance. Keep in mind that there are higher-numbered video cards that fall under what we need. Probably the best chart you can look at is available on Tom's Hardware: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gaming-graphics-card%2c2544-7.html
The GeForce 6600 and Radeon 9800 are towards the lower half of the chart. If your video card is under it, that's not a good thing. If your video card is above it, that's good.
Some of the more common ones that are under the system requirements:
- NVIDIA GeForce 6150, 6200, 7150, 8300, 8400
- ATI Radeon Xpress 200, 1150, 1250, X1050, 8500-9600, X300-600
- All Intel GMA adapters minus the one in the i3/i5 chips. Those tend to run better but we don't know how much.
