Has anyone else played this yet? I just installed it and played alittle of it. The game looks awsome but my system seems to be to slow for it. Is the game that much of a resource hog? Is there anything I can do to improve the gameplay? I've tried it on both WinME and Win2K. Here is my system...

Athlon800
256 RAM
V5 5500

To answer your other question: yeah, the game is a huge resource hog. You don't need 60 fps to play this game, though. I've got a P3-933, 192 MB and GeForce SDR and I average 15 - 30 fps and only rarely does it dip below that. Feels very good and smooth at those rates. It's a spectacular game too. I feel bad that I don't get to play as those Meccs anymore. The Sea Reaper doesn't seem as fun so far.
