System spec query for SH3

[Lord Flasheart]

I'm running a Compaq Presario laptop with an AMD Athlon 64 (I think it's about the equivalent of a Pentium 1.4ghz), NVidia GeForce graphics card...

 

Should this be able to cope with SH3? The computer was brand new in late 2004, which is about when SH3 came out, if I recall correctly, so should be about on a par, in that sense.

 

It runs e.g. Rome Total War with no difficulties, if that's any help as a guide...?

 

Sorry - not at all a techy person in terms of hardware. Just want some indication before I splash some cash on the game.

 

Cheers.

how much ram and which video card do you have?if not sure go to my computer->right click and open->hardware manager and then video.It'll tell you what card you have.and ram will show up when you open the screen after you right click it.

It's a GeForce4 440 Go64M apparently.

 

And 512MB of RAM.

 

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (Presario R3000)

 

Should this be able to cope with SH3?

 

I've been a fan of sub sims since I was a lad, with Silent Service 2 on the Amiga 500, and would love to get into this, having played SH2 to death but found that it won't now run on my XP equipped machine.

You're going to be light on the video card I'm afraid.Can you upgrade to one with 128 megs of video ram?(atleast that much.)

Curses!

 

Will maybe have to look at an upgrade of some sort then eh?

 

Irritating that there was no sub sim released between SH2 and SH3 in terms of system requirements.

 

Cheers for your help though Dagger.
