IMF-Arel- Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 PhantomWarrior, worse thing is...your system is well above the official system requirements. Which is rather insane don't you think judging from your experience. Didn't they call for a P350 and 16M video? lol I realize the official minimum system requirements are just that...But seriously I think alot of people use that as a guideline stating "the game will run fine with this". In my opinion they really really really need to come up with a second rating called "game will actually run with..." or "for medium performance run with". Basically tell us what we really need to run the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattman Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Here's my machine (built it myself, it's getting a little old though, might be time for an upgrade soon.) I'm a bit of a hardware geek. -Chieftec DX-01BD case w/ 300W PSU <-- these cases ROCK. They're the same as the Antec SX1030B, only without the PSU ('cause I already had an extra one.) -1 Ghz Athlon Proc -Abit KT7A mobo -384 MB PC133 RAM -Gainward Geforce3 ti200 (OC'd to a ti500) -Turtle Beach Santa Cruz soundcard -40 GB 7200RPM ATA100 HD -8x DVD Drive (40x CD read speed) -Logitech Optical WheelMouse (the shiney blue one) Various other components that I don't feel like listing, because they don't pertain to JO, and I need to go to bed (CDRW, NIC, ect.)

Razage Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 bahaha, you guys got power houses comapared to this: -P3 450 MHZ processor. -16 Meg Riva TNT (Might be 2, not sure.) -328 Megs of Ram (Might be my only saving grace) -Cable connection -ESS Solo Sound card -Microsoft Intelli point mouse. -A Keyboard that has "IBM" on the top left courner. Hell if I know what brand it is. Yet... JK2 runs very decent on this machine. If you're having problems, turn the graphics to 16 bit and turn the model quelity down, two biggest drainers of FPS.

WinXP My old machine is this: PentiumII400 128Mb PC100 SDRAM GeForce2GTS 32Mb ~26GB HD SBLIVE!player Win98 I have installed JKII:JO on both machines. In fact, I get a much better framerate on the first one in 1024x768x32 with all the graphics options maximised than I get on the second in 640x480x16 with all the graphics options minimised!

Soundblaster 128 about the same harddrive capacity.... my machine runs JKII awesome!! it only slowed down on the level with the first AT-ST's and the x-wings...alot was going on there so that was understandable. . . . .
