Hello, Ladies and Gents,
I just discovered your web site (quite by accident) and am really excited that I did. I've been yearning for greater team orientation and battle planning from BF 2. I can't wait to participate with all of you.
My question: I'm running an older system- Pent. 4 3.2 Ghz- 1 GB RAM- NVIDIA GeForce 7800GS... can my system run PR efficiently?
I'm still in the stone-age, but I am looking to upgrade shortly. Also, do i need to download the previous versions of PR for the system to function? Or, can I just download the latest version?
Thanks. for your time and consideration and I look forward to catching you in my cross-hairs :mrgreen:

See you on the field,

BlackwaterHAWAII

HOO-HAA! Boy, did you come to the right place! I wouldn't be surprised if someone doesn't try to recruit you ASAP! Teamplay is what Project Reality is all about. Welcome to PR and the Forums! I hope your experience here is ever richer than any you've experienced before! Best wishes on getting your new system together!

Sincerely,
Roland

I used to have a system almost identical to the stats you list keep everything on medium and you should be fine. an extra gig of ram would definitely help though.

Blackwater i pretty much had the same specs as you except i had the nvidia geforce 6800gt & 1.5gb ram.

It LAGGED so bad on low settings that i went ahead and upgraded just so i could play!

so my advice - Definately go for an upgrade its well worth it ;)

Thanks, Sketzoh...I figure I'll come out of the stoneage with something hot (ie an i7 975), so ill be good for a couple of upgrades. Now, it's just convincing the wife how vital to national security this new computer would be :shock:

An i7 725? Unless you want to spend 600 dollars on the CPU alone, I'd go with a regular quad core CPU. :p

For PR, you should have a dual core cpu, at least 2 gigs of RAM, and a graphics card equivalent to the 8800 gt. (that is of course to play the game on high settings.)

I upgraded to a 1.7ghz celeron dual core, 1 Gb Ram, Asus EAH3450 512mb gfx card. (Not the best setup but what i could afford)

I can now comfortable run pr on mid settings so not bad for around £100 so make sure the wife knows its critical to national security as this game rocks beyond belief!

I cant stress enough how the i975 is a waste when i920 D0's clock to 4Ghz on air.

I'll try my best, SketzoH, but you remember how the "Bay of Pigs" turned out :lol: Thank-you all for your input to the i7. I'll look into the dual cores. I guess the i7 was more a case of "mines bigger than yours". Especially since I have small hands and feet :mrgreen:
