Estimated System Reqs?

Captain Kwok · #1 September 9th, 2003, 03:24 AM

To be more specific, when I started the beta test I had a PII-300A Celeron with 320Mb RAM and 16MB TNT videocard. It ran playable ok under Win98, but when I switched to XP, it was super slow.

I'd recommend at least a PIII with a decent videocard at the least.

Edit:
SJ - I had the slowest machine!

I'm not even going to ask why you had more RAM than CPU speed.

And with that system, switching to XP slowed everything down, I assume.

It is always good to have as much ram as you can get.

I actually had two computers that had more RAM than processor speed (laptop also had 320Mb vs 300Mhz). With XP the system performed about the same for most normal tasks, but more importantly was much more stable! Unfortunately not for Star Fury though.

What DirectX Version does the game use?

I think 8 and above is recommended, but I'd just downloaded the latest one (9.0b?) for the best results.
