I just hope the 64mb graphic card will be sufficient for the game, otherwise

It may be sufficient, but it is a bit low. I think 128mb (or maybe even 256) will be recommended.

sounds like i have to wait for another 2 years- when my pc die- to play HoMM V, well then , LOL

Well, at least by then it should be thoroughly broken in.

well, anyway, altho warcraft has less polygons, I feel its good enough, how about let user set high or low polygons and lower the minimum sys req?

Yeah, or maybe a "turn off videos" option to lower requirements on video cards..

Or "turn off textures" and "use boxes instead of models"

Better use the Text Adventure Mode

Usually recommended is for the game to run perfectly. Hopefully it will run on a 64mb card (would make many people happy).

Scalabilty of the engine is the key.

I saw games with horrible graphic having huge system requirements.

Take Blitzkrieg 2 (sadly made by Nival)....its a pain for my eyes, yet its engine weighs more than the Call of Duty2 one which has stellar graphics....I can run CoD2 much better despite its higher system req...

so, I just hope that it will be scalable enough to run WELL on a medium machine, like the one suggested by the fake sys req posted.

For you guys still owning anything below 1200 mhz....I fear that you are in trouble...

Yes,but wasnt blitzkrieg a tactic?It was a pain for the memory,not the graphic card,since it had so many details.

I suspect we should be looking at a newer game for the possible system requirements. Civilization 4, which came out in October, is now fully 3D and had these requirements:-

Minimum System Requirements

Operating System: Windows® 2000/XP

Processor: 1.2 GHz Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon processor or equivalent

Memory: 256 MB RAM (Windows 2000) / 512 MB RAM (Windows XP)

Hard Disk Space: 1.7 GB Free

CD-ROM Drive : 4X Speed

Video: DirectX 9.0c-compatible 64 MB video card with Hardware T&L support ( GeForce 2/Radeon 7500 or better)

Sound: DirectX 9.0c-compatible sound card

DirectX®: DirectX® version 9.0c (included) or higher

Recommended System Requirements

Operating System: Windows® 2000/XP

Processor: 1.8 GHz Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon processor or equivalent

Memory: 512 MB RAM

Hard Disk Space: 1.7 GB Free

CD-ROM Drive : 4X Speed

Video: 128 MB Video Card w/ DirectX 8 support (pixel & vertex shaders)

Sound: DirectX 9.0c-compatible sound card

DirectX®: DirectX® version 9.0c (included) or higher

Although the system I was using was above the minimum requirements the release version didn't run properly, I couldn't finish a game

, although I believe the patches released have improved the situation.

The good news is my new computer is above any possible requirements that could be asked for

Yeah, I'm looking to expand my RAM too - currently at 1 Gig, but memory is one thing you can never get too much of...
