"I never look back darling, it distracts from the now." Edna (Disney''s Incredibles)

Hi!  My husband and I are getting ready to build two new computers (this will be our first go at building our own computers but now a days things seem so plug and play that we figure with a good tutorial we could give this a shot and learn some stuff along the way...you never know until you try) however I would like to know if the components im looking at will run AoC on High with little to NO problems (preferrably):

AMD Athlon Dual Core 6000 (3 gig)

Nvidia 8800 GTS (628 mb)

4 Gigs of DDR2 Ram

Windows Vista 64bit version

....if anyone has a good suggestion for a motherboard I would love to hear it, I am currently looking at a GIGABYTE ATX motherboard that is compatable with DDR2 and DDR3.

We can't wait to play AoC and the plan was to be ready for release but you know how life gets in the way sometimes.  Glad to hear that many people are having success...I've heard a few bad stories but nearly as many as I suspected.

I'm running it on Windows XP at 1680 x 1050 with:

Intel Q6600 Quad Core @ 3.0GHz

2GB of Crucial Ballistix RAM

8800GTS 512MB

With everything on High, I get around 35 fps in Tortage, and 50+ when outside of Tortage.

" Chuck Norris and Buck Rogers are really brothers..one joined the army one the air force."

" I'm using:

windows vista

2x 2.2 duo core2 cpu's

4 gigs ddr 2 ram

85oo gt nvidia

400 gig hard drive

windows rating of 4.7

And atm I have to run the game on low setting..still get lag in tortage too

I'm a lil disapointed but hoping theres lots of optimising on the way, as AOC req windows rating 4.0 and recomends 4.8

I was hoping to run it all at medium settings.

I'm sure things will improve tho.

 

 

Again someone with a completely capable computer, with the graphics card holding you back. Quite frustrating really, I'm suffering the same, 4gb ram 2.2dual core and an 8400M GT. "

 

Maybe your right..time for an 8800 gts perhaps
