    :eek: Hmmm, does that mean my TI 4200 won't handle it? No surprise there really, having just watched the 6 demo-videos at the official site , I haven't been that stunned by graphics since I played Atlantis Lost Tales :D

    That's my system too :D Night shift paid off! Although I'm on an Athlon 64bit CPU, which I think is a bit better than a 3ghz P4 :D

    not sure how well ill run it.

    2.2 ghz athlon socket a
    1 gb ram
    6600 gt 128 mb


    is it only on dvd? that would be kind of disappointing...I would be forced to use a no-cd crack of some sort since the only dvd rom in the house is in my dads computer..

    To be blunt, your Titanium 4200 would beat any FX save maybe the last 5900 series to performance if it actually ran it... And even some of the 6000's. But it won't run on it, heh.

    I think it's because it's not a DX 9 graphics card. But I'm not sure...

    If it is anything like the other Elder Scrolls series, you will need a 5GHz P4 or equivelant, 8GB of RAM, and four of the most powerful Nvidia cards in SLI mode to run it. Considering that Morrowind doesn't run at full quality on a Geforce 6600GT and even Arena needs a 486/100 or Pentium system (even though it claims to work well on a 486/33), their system requirements should not be relied on.
