This seems like an OK set up for me (I'm not a real big computer person) and just need to know what someone with a bit of knowledge reckons I need to be able to run Command and Conquer 3.
Here are the Req's for C&C 3:
Required System:
Microsoft Windows XP
PC with 1.6 Ghz equivalent or higher processor
256 MB of system RAM
512 MB of system RAM for online play with 3 or more players
6 GB available hard disk space
8x speed or faster CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive (for the Collector's Edition)
64 MB GeForce3-class video card. The game only officially supports cards with ATI (Radeon 8500 or greater) and Nvidia chipsets, and the Intel GMA 900 and GMA 950 products. The GeForce 4 MX is not supported
Sound card with speakers or headphones
Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
56.6 Kbps or better modem for 1v1 online play
Broadband connection for online play with 3 or more players
DirectX 9.0c or above.
Now I can understand some of this and most of it seems to match up. But I don't know the specs of different graphics cards etc. Could someone please just tell me what graphics card they would reccomend (if i even need one) and roughly what they are worth? I don't need my computer to be able to control shuttle launches or anything, I just don't want it to lag up.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this mini essay and give me some help
