is my cpu good enough?

hi, is 2.21ghz good enough to run NTW smoothly?
also i have a nividia geforce gt440
also 2.8gb ram

thx!

also the site can you run it says i can run it minimum, the only thing thats not recommended is the cpu

bump

im not a computer geek and not very good at remembering things. but i think it will suffice. You can go to systemrequiermentslab.com to check. when you get their just type napoleon total war in the box and it will tell you if you can run it or not.

Edit: obviously i cant read cause you already went there... You should be able to run the game set on medium graphics.

You'll get low with some medium settings. Don't expect epic battles or beautiful eyecandy.

ok but will it run smoothly on low or medium?
i mean no lag on low or no lag on medium?

thank you

Low settings, early game, little to no lag. Late game, it will possibly come to a crawl. Battles will be small battles and possible lag. Medium battles, if it loads, will lag.

what do you mean it will come to a crawl?

As in slow motion between ai factions on end turns. Late game, the map is known and the game has to calculate all of it and every faction, unit, agent, settlement, etc. on it.

slow motion?
you mean it will lag badly or...

No, the end turn will take a long time to complete. Your cpu is too slow and not enough ram to do a good late game job. Late game battles will suffer, too, because there will be that much more on the battlefield for the cpu to do before passing it on to the gpu. Late game will lag no matter what.

will empire total war be the same?

Yes, it will.

Well, that sucks
