The game will not run properly if your computer has the following chipsets:


TNT2
Trident Blade 3D
Radeon Mobility
Rage 128
S3 ProSavage
Radeon 7200
Vivid XS
Mobility M6
Quaddro4
Intel 810e
Mobility M4
3dfx chipsets
Voodoo4
Voodoo5
SiS 650
GeForce 256 or 256 DDR

If you attempt to run C&C Generals with any of the chipsets listed above, you might encounter a blue screen crash, or a "Serious Error" message.

I wonder why that is, a LOT of people have TNT 2s and Rage/Radeons in their machines even if their performance is far from being suitable by most of our standards there are crazy people out there not willing or unable to upgrade their machines... and to think, last I knew you could still get a long in a Voodoo 5

Well, my Radeon 7000 w/32mb ddr is faster than the Voodoo 5 5500 and I have recently encountered a game which requires more than that.

Having said this, I know someone who is running EQ SoL with a Voodoo 5. Not sure how well, but he's doing it. It's all about resolution and settings. If you can handle no FSAA, bilinear filtering etc and run in 800x600 or 640x480 (I have to run MOHAA in 640x480 to attain perfect speed) then a Voodoo 5 should scrape by

Oh and regarding Generals: my system cannot run that game worth a damn. Took me about 5 mins just to get through the intro part
