Heirloom_Tomato Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 This system will indeed run the games and allow you to enjoy many hours of armchair generalship. I am sure there will be others who come along and offer up some suggestions on how to get the best out of your graphics setup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss playing these great games but my old computer died and this clunker of a laptop won't run them at all. It will be good to get back into the fray.

The game still runs fine on my Vintage dual core AMD, 512MB NVidia graphics, 4 GB RAM and WinXP. Only very large battles won´t load. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My system RAM is DDR3 but I don't know what the speed is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am purchasing this machine from NewEgg and it is a certified refurbished machine. Price is $519.00. A long-time gaming friend of mine tried to talk me into purchasing a new computer from CyberPower but their cheapest i7 machine is well over $1000.00. My budget is only $600 max and I don't want to blow it all on just the machine. Got to get games to go with this computer.

Budget at between 600-800 EUR and I apply well with any such machine with any games/sowftware I´m interested in and their recommended hard- and software requirements. With regard to CMX2 I think it´s most important to have enough RAM (8-16GB) and a 4+ GB Graphics card, for beeing on the safe side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 As @RockinHarry says those specs look good. Once you get it check out the performance threads in the FAQ - the game engine uses OpenGL and is from 2004 so it can use some help from carefully tweaked settings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one question I had, OpenGL. I have pulled my hair out trying to find the most current version but with no luck at all. I'll check out the discussion you mentioned.

A Canadian Cat Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 You don't need to find anything for OpenGL your self. The game uses it and the graphics cards support the API. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
