My New PC

[Pink Pajamas]

Basically, i havnt been on these forums for friggin ages :laughing: And i have just ordered my new PC, which i only got because its a deal with my mothers work place in a hospital.

Intel® Pentium® D, 2 x 2.8GHz 945 Pin
1024Mb DDR2 SDRAM
Cache memory 2Mb
ATI RADEON X1300 PRO (VGA port, TV-out, DVI port) 256 MB video memory

Just the main specs, im wondering if this will be ok running RTW and BI at relatively big battles cos my old PC suffers at 4000 men

How much did you pay for that computer?

You should be able to run RTW at medium - high settings with that computer on huge, even though on some places like night battles its going to lag a little. The X1300 isn't that good of a graphics card.

Also, when you say 945 pin, I think you ment Intel 945 motherboard. Currently the Pentium Ds use LGA 775, which, of course, have 775 pins. AND just because you got a dual core processor doesn't mean the operating frequency doubles. So you processor is still a 2.8ghz processor, not a 2 X 2.8 ghz processor. Since dual core is new right now, not that much application will be optomized for it, so most of your applications will run at the speed of a single 2.8 ghz processor.

Id just like to add im not a big games player. It comes with a 360gb HD and 19 Inch Flat Panel, im more of a media guy so thats what turned me to it. Its got two DVD drives, CD drives and 7 USB ports, so im happy if it plays RTW relatively good.

i am using an HP Pavillion Dv 4000 with a centrino 1.74 chip and .99 gig ram and it runs a treat even with Large troop setting.So yours should be fine.
