Will it look and run ok with my specs?

Is there any problems between sup com/new expansion and vista x64?

Id like to know since i think im gonna jump on the amazon deal.

just fyi, you dont need both to play, the expansion runs without the original.

It runs fine on my x64 vista on the rig in sig.

With a T7300, 8600GT, and 2GB youll likely have to run medium settings and no AA.

A C2D Allendale at 2.7ghz, with 2GB and a 6800GT runs the game fine at medium and no AA.

I can live with medium i guess. I went for the £20 amazon deal that Elcs mentioned so i get both games

Pre-ordered my copy too.

I hope the horses in my X2 6000+ and 8800GT can provide some eyecandy on my HDTV. I am spoilt with Hellgate Londons DX10 loveliness.

I'm sure some of you all know that the expansion pack for Supreme Commander was released today. Now c'mon, who bought it?

I play the original but i dont have enough money for Crysis and the expansion yet.

Now that I have some hardware to play with, I am tempted to at least give it a shot.

the campaign doesnt require the original, but in multiplayer you can only play the seraphim with just the expansion

I lost you... the seraphim is the expansion race, so obviously you can only use it in the expansion.

I just played another round on the 81x81 map, no crashes and memory usage exceeded 3.3GB at peak so id say that the memory allocation issue in vista is definately solved.

On a side note, man did they nerf the hell out of tech 3 bombers, those things suck now.

That sucks, those stupid flying boats are so hard to get into enemy bases, it's not even funny. If they don't do enough damage and take 12989823 minutes to build, what's the point even?

Yeah, they wont even automatically pick targets when on move now, and they dont drop bombs vertically anymore...

You have to line them up on their target from like half a km away and theyll all hit that one target.

You obviously haven't played the DoW series.

If you read the thread, no you do not require the game to play the expansion.
