Voodoo5 and C&C generals

[romtech]

whats up guys, Bet you guys have not seen a thread with voodoo5 question in a while, I know its time to upgrade, but i cant since I have no agp port.... ok here is my question------>>> just a question about the likelyhood of the voodoo5 working with the new c&c generals game. Looking at the requirments for the game it says any gforce2 and radion video card that uses directx8.1. The thing is that, my system a p3 800 with 128 megs of ram running of xp with the directx 8.1 drivers is working fine. I am just wondering if the game will work with my system since directx8.1 is working fine on my system.

Also, I have been looking fo the generals multiplayer demo that came out before the game, but I cant find it, does anybody know where I can download it....

Thanks in advance

Check out this site for some good DirectX 8.1 drivers for your V5. Also, I think the V5 was around Geforce2 levels of performance so it will probably run the game ok. I would guess though that a GF2 is probably the minimum hardware requirement and that the game would really perform much better with a Geforce3+.

Don't know about the demo.. good luck!

Just found this over at the forums of the above website. Looks like you may be out of luck but check it out anyway!

I would say that your system as a whole is probably really pushing it to play generals. I'd like to think my system is pretty fast (p4 2.51, overclocked ti4400, 512MB DDR372) and generals doesn't really run as well at it could. I played it in 1280x960 high detail as that's what I play almost everything in, and it really slowed down when stuff started happening.
