After looking at some reviews on Circuit City's website (lol Locke), I decided to go pick up a copy of H2V. But the problem is... My computer doesn't have Vista, but my mom does; but I don't want to be whoring her computer. I was going to upgrade my computer to Vista soon as well, as it is Vista compatible.
However, I was wondering if my computer's hardware is good enough to run H2V (I don't care if it's on lowest settings, graphics are un-important to me).
Graphics Card: ATI RADEON XPRESS 200m Series
Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) M Processor - 1.70 GHz
RAM: 960 MB
I might be able to trade my laptop in because I have insurance on it; but that's just a maybe...
I was thinking about picking it up today...

That barely might work for Vista. Find Vista's upgrade advisor (or maybe that's Toshiba-only, cause I have a toshiba laptop) to find out. Well, what I would suggest is you definitely try and trade in your current computer first, for sure. If you can't, sell it on ebay or something, save up some green and get a better one, cause with the comp you have now, even if you can upgrade to vista, your experience with H2V and Vista itself will be a bad one, guaranteed.

blast...your computer has a better processor than me...yeah vista will work fine and you know what...you can take off you 960mb of ram because with vista, you can plug a 2 gig memory stick and tell the computer to use that as ram...and if its empty youll have like 2.8-2.9 gigs of ram.
Thats why we need to all buy grunt books, and H2v would run...perfectly0m3g4Muff1n987 wrote:even if you can upgrade to vista, your experience with H2V and Vista itself will be a bad one, guaranteed.

I would upgrade your Graphics Card. You'll probably experiance a lot of problems with your current. I would recommend GeForce 8600GTS, A DX10 Card (which you need for most future games) or cheaper Radeon x1650, A DX9 Card
I would also recommend you have at least 1Gb of RAM, to run it Smoothly.
System Requirements:
OS: Vista
Processor: 2GHz (My brother runs the game with only 1.8GHz, No Lag)
Memory: 1GB RAM / 7GB Hard Drive Space
Video Card: NVIDIA 6100, ATI X700, or above

Not to go off topic, but Muffin. You're signature says processor is DDR2. DDR2 is RAM. [/offtopic]
MG, if you don't want to bother spending $350+ on a new video card, a 7950 or 7900 would do just fine. Also, pick up at least 1 Gig of ram. Though I'd recommend 2.
Edit:
Never mind, I got you're signature now. I was thinking the part type was before the numbers/letters, it comes after. Completely ignore my first sentence,

Feel free to send me an instant message if you need anything.
Just because it can doesn't make it a good idea. Flash drives are only a fraction the speed of ram. Aren't they slower than your hdd? If so, it'd be better to use a paging file over this method.Andrew_b wrote:not sure if you know this...but vista uses memory stick or other flashdrives as ram....so yo dont have to buy specified ram that only works with your computer...and its alot faster to install ram through flashdrivesTomClancey wrote:Also, pick up at least 1 Gig of ram.
haha same here wont run on mine...JK-47 wrote:Meh, well I bought it and my mom's computer won't run it....
I think god hates me.
@ spammy
Vista can send some of the processes of your computer to a flashdrive...so your computer can have less hassle with processes eating your RAM...
Thus making your computer faster... (I know i read this somewhere...cant think of it off of my memory...but with my 2 gig stick my computer is pretty fast.)
