64MB Minimum (128MB Suggested)

Hard Drive Space
531MB Hard Drive (with 300MB Swap Space)

DirectSound-compatible Sound Card required

Min CPU (300Mhz) : GeForce, GeForce 2, Diamond Viper II, ATI Rage 128.

Min CPU (400Mhz) : TNT, TNT2, Radeon, Matrox G400, Matrox G450, Voodoo 3

Min CPU (500Mhz) : Voodoo 2, Voodoo 4, Voodoo 5, Kyro, Permedia 3.

NOTE: Any card listed at a lower CPU can be used (of course) with higher CPUs. The listed CPUs are MINIMUMS for those cards.

ALSO NOTE: The Voodoo 3 has a lower threshhold CPU than the V4 & V5 because its drivers handle texture swapping better.

The thing here is that these are the absolute minimums. If your on the cusp it means you can load up the game, look at the community type stuff and thats about it.
I have a p3500 and a tnt2. I have to have all the graphics turned down to get a playable fps.


edit: err sorry, this was in reply to Bugler, whos post dissapeared. belongs here rather than the games board anyway _

I had about 100MB left on where it was installed. The other two drives had 1GB + 2GB free. I freed up about 6GB on the installation drive and it seems ok. I haven't had time to play it for a long time though. I heard there was a memory leak?
