please sombody answer

Ahoy pheonixchain,
Not a specialist in dxdiag question I can only advise this:
Download the Demo version (free) and start the mission with the highest graphic option. When there is no problem, then You can assume that Your machine is powerfull enough. Good luck

Well, you have enough RAM, a big enough page file, dunno how your processor will perform (never seen a triple core processor before) but it should be OK. However something is telling me you have an integrated graphics chipset, which means you'll probably struggle to run it, unfortunately. Also the graphics driver is a bit out-dated but i doubt that would help. So, in a nutshell, not really, because of the graphics chipset/card thing
-
Your graphics card is on the low end, it works but you may need some settings off (reflections)
-
I had a Geforce6200 (dedicated graphics card) with 256mb of memory, and that really struggled, freezing or crashing every few minutes( Ship smulator), but i did only have 1gb ram back then.

Ahoy Ship(sim)mates
Why not try it out for free? OK, it's 150 MB big, but the demo pulled me over the line to buy the full version. And all Add-On's

Uhuh, I agree you should definitely try out the demo, lets you understand how the ships operate, and also how it looks. And with a 600GB hard drive you won't miss the 150MB

Im afraid His processor is FAR too slow. The game is only made to use one core and even IF the game DID use all cores, It would be right on the ok level. I know you hate to hear bad news, I do too, But my PC isn't good enough either. (Just Barley though) Once i get that GeForce 8600 And 1 more Unnecessary Gig of RAM ill be good!

well u need more ghz but your graphics card looks ok from what i can see why dont u just get eh demo
-
I wouldn't really say it is FAR too slow, I'm using a dual core 2.4Ghz processor and I can run on full everything just fine. Nd AMD like to think they work like a faster intel processor so I wouldn't really see it as being too much of a problem.
-
omfg i just bought this computer for it jeez costs me over 1000$ it can run the demo fine without freezing, so do u thinck it will run the full version
???

Ahoy pheonixchain
When You can run the demo with video options as high as possible and no freeze up of your system, my guess would be: YES, buy the full game and enjoy.
Happy sailing

If you had paid more you could have got a graphics card, its not your fault, its the world's failing economy

lol. Really. Us (Americans) Are really in bad shape right now. Stock markets are going down 500 points at a time. Government even had to lend AIG $85,000,000,000 the other day.
-
yes ure right and ok i might buy it
-
A word of advice: if you decide to upgrade your graphics card, check to see if your power-supply can handle it..
It's what has happened to me..I got a new card a while ago, it worked fine untill recently. While playing a "heavy" game the screen went blank.. No damage done, but today I bought a power-unit with a bit more "oomph"..
Hope to install it next week..
