Guest Thrawn Posted August 3, 2000 Share Posted August 3, 2000 maximum install and set everything to it's lowest possible setting. good luck ------------------ "Have no fear, your local Grand Admiral is here!" ThRaWn90,RAL_Thrawn Rogue 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fondas Posted August 4, 2000 Share Posted August 4, 2000 I'm afraid that even if it manages to launch, it would be unplayable. I had it installed on a p166, 32 RAM and a voodoo2. There were a lot of missions where I lost only because the frame rate was terrible.

Guest Em Posted August 7, 2000 Share Posted August 7, 2000 I *think* it might work, cuz it works on my P1 cyrix 200mhz 4mb video card 64mb ram. and yeah i will get a new computer ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest STA JABBAFETT Posted August 8, 2000 Share Posted August 8, 2000 Yeah I had a p200 and it did work, I lost missions because it had been so long since I had played Tie Fighter and X-wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JC_DeadEye Posted August 8, 2000 Share Posted August 8, 2000 Yeah, but then he didn't ask you if it could play on a 200Mhz now did he? I heard of somebody playing on a P100 back when DM's was still a thriving site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cid_MCDP Posted August 11, 2000 Share Posted August 11, 2000 i installed a copy of XWA on a customer's machine when i still worked at a computer place and was surprised it worked as well as it did. they had a p1 133 with 48mb ram. installed everthing i could and dropped all details. still had to turn the sound off for it to be playable, so in response to your question, probably not. if nothing else, you probably don't have the ram for it. get a new box, kid! ------------------ Come get some @ www.mcdp.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OtanaMan Posted August 12, 2000 Share Posted August 12, 2000 Yeah, but are you really going to spend $1,000, more or less, on a computer just to have XWA run better? Wouldn't it be better to just upgrade your current system? More RAM, HD Space, Video Card, Processor Speed, etc. OK, maybe that will cost more. MAYBE.

Tek Gunner Posted August 12, 2000 Share Posted August 12, 2000 I remember I bought a new video card just because I wanted to get good graphics I've seen in screenshots! I'm glad I did too <font size=1> [This message has been edited by Tek Gunner (edited August 12, 2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thrawn Posted August 12, 2000 Share Posted August 12, 2000 lol Tek actually, you can buy computers with 64MB RAM 10 gig HD, and a 500-600Pentium for under 800 bucks. ------------------ "Have no fear, your local Grand Admiral is here!"

Guest YT-2000 Posted August 13, 2000 Share Posted August 13, 2000 Greetings, pilots... I agree, it is important to the excitement to have a relatively good computer. When I fly into the Death Star, if I ever manage to, which I doubt, I want as good graphics and sound effects as possible... Which I won't have...

Guest Rogue15 Posted August 15, 2000 Share Posted August 15, 2000 Yeah i think i'll upgrade mine (like take all my money and give my computer to compusa and say upgrade this load of trash please. I need all these games to work better: Jedi Knight Mysteries of the Sith TIE Fighter X-Wing Alliance Those games are all fun and i am thinking about getting a Voodoo2 graphics card (i don't know, can a 486 AST 4I have one of those installed?). I got 80 megs of RAM and the recommended amount is 32. The stuff loads fast, just doesn't run fast. IT kinda ticks me off especially seeing how awesome jedi knight works on a pentium 3 (i almost cried, 'cause in order for it to look like that on my computer i gotta minimize it down to 1 and then i put the graphics on 600 X800 and the framerate rules, but it kindof kills your eyes and you get a headache after a few hours, and everything's hard to find. ------------------ "The Empire is on the verge of success, soon peace and order will be restored throughout the galaxy." -emperor Palpatine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw, man. I can't believe this. My 64MB RAM, 6.4 GB HD, 366 MHz system cost about 1,100 dollars and it sucks now. Now they're better and cheaper? That really sucks. Next time, I'm getting it from Gateway. At least, that way, I get to upgrade it after it becomes obsolete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
