Rig:

Dell Latitude D800

Pentium-M 1.4GHZ 1MB L2 Cache
1GB PC2100 RAM (gotta love double your ram specials from dell!😀)
Nvidia Geforce 4200 GO 64mb
On board sound
40gb 5400rpm HD
DVD-ROm drive


Will it be playable at 800x600x32 atleast?🙂

I have an Athlon 64 rig, but its always occupied by one of my younger bros. I want to be able to fully enjoy the game. (I'm an old school Warcraft I/II/III/Starcraft/Diablo gamer).

 
ah i was about to say no because i thought it was a p4 1.4 😛, buttttt pms are pretty good i think.. i dont really know anything about that vid card, but if its anything close to a ti 4200, then it will be all good
 
should be alright at 8x6

i and running at 16?? x 10?? whatever the widescreen res is with

Dell Dimension 8600

Pentium M 1.6A
Radeon 9600 XT? ( i forgot but whatever the radeon 9600 is that is in laptops)
512 MB DDR
40 GB HD
DVD-Rom

and it runs pretty smooth except when i change zones via a gryphon
walking across zones causes some stuttering but once it loads up than it is fine

but i'm sure 1 GB of ram would fix that


1GB and a decent vid card should be all you need
 
I ran doom3 on a d600 which has 768 megs, 1.4m, radeon 9000. I played the whole way through. Sure it was 800X600 with low detail, but it still looked decent.
 
I played the closed & open beta with the following system at 1024x768x32 with any problems.

AMD T-bird 1.2GHz
1 GB PC2700 RAM @ 133Mhz
ATI 9600 Pro
On Board Sound
80 GB 7200rpm 8MB Buffer

I don't see why your system couldn't perform decently at 800x600x32.
 
I run it on my 1.6 Pentium M with a Radeon 9000. I only have 256MB of ram. The biggest problem for me is hard drive thrashing since I only have a video card with 32MB of memory. I run at 1024x 768 with decent quality.

I ran at 1024x768x32 with a P4-M 1.8, 512MB and a Geforce 420 MX (16MB) fine.

My friend runs it on a 1.4 thunderbird with 513mb and a geforce 4 mx 420...it runs fine on that system, so you should be more than safe
