What kind of Computer do you have? This should apply to the one that you plan to play Republic commando on.

 

I shall start.

 

Keep in mind that I'm still building this and need a video card and the like

 

Processor: AMD Athlon 2100+ at 2.0ghz

Memory: 256 mb of DDR Viking (Don't laugh) memory

Hard Drive: 60 GB Maxtor Hard Drive

And a generic CD Rom Drive.

i usually build, my last two computers were built. but i actually brought that one. it was a deal that was too good to turn down. plus it came with lots of other stuff, like a printer and scanner, which i didn't need so i sold them off and made some money back. that and selling my old computer meant that i got it so cheap it was ridiculous :D

Nobody cares, so I'll add my own pointless contribution, just for fun's sake...

 

AMD Athlon 2400XP+

256 mb pc133 sdram

ATI All-In-Wonder 9600 AGP (128 mb DDR)

Soundblaster Live! soundcard

Windows 2000 Professional

 

And yes, this is my system from mid-2000 upgraded. It should be adequate for the next crop of Star Wars games. It won't play Doom3 very well I'm sure, but that doesn't bother me.

 

Only thing that bugs me is the company that built my scanner (Agfa) apparently got out of the scanner business and so they've stopped supporting the model I own, meaning no driver updates (and it currently won't even detect for me!).

 

As for Republic Commando (or any game) if it meets or exceeds the min. recommended system specs for a game, then I wouldn't worry too much.

Ha! I think I win the slowest processor award so far: Pentium !!! 800 MHz. We got this computer 2000, but pretty much everything else is upgraded:

GeForce FX 5200 128 MB

384 MB RAM

40/12/48x CD-RW (as if CD-ROM speed were a factor these days--I can still remember back to when it was)

40+80 GB, but only 10 GB I can use because my dad partitioned the second HD, and filled the partition I can use with backups of the first HD)

17" CRT that's older than my PC

Win98

SoundBlaster Live!

the other obvious hardware

 

Of course, by the time RC comes out and I get around to buying it (assuming I do), I'll probably be at college and have a new computer. The only thing I'd worry about for it running on my current system is the CPU, but I'd say there's a 50% chance it'd run perfectly. I can run the Far Cry demo at 1024x768, but I can't get the MOH:PA demo to run above 15 fps at the lowest settings.

 

Edit: Pentium !!!=Pentium 3. The logo actually has exclamation marks, in case you didn't know (you probably did).

Built it about 18 months ago.

 

19" Samsung monitor

AMD 1800+

Nvidia Fx5200 128 MB

512 MB RAM

120 GB Maxtor harddrive

200 GB Maxtor harddrive

Asus CD-R burner 48x

 

Next PC related buy will probably be a Nvidia 6800 graphicscard next year, and an Asus DVD-R burner next year too. When the CPU and RAM will be sluggish, in about a year or two, I'll probably buy a new mainboard/cpu/ram and use the current chassi.

Oh btw, I have a full tower, so everytime I take it anywhere people are always gawking at it like "whoa, that thing is huge!"

 

I normally use it with the sides off and a fan blowing not far off (don't have to cool it like the days of the overclocked monster I used to have, but never hurts).

 

; )
