Intel Pentium 4 560

Nvidia GeForce 8800gts 312mb

Intel 925xe-ich6r

DDR 2

Don't know if this is enough to specify it,but in simple terms,it sucks. Mostly only play source games and get around 30 fps.

i probably dont have the weakest rig but ive played some games on ancient or really weak rigs sometimes. the latest was with my eee pc, i was using it and i had a nerdy idea "that would be fun to try to run some games on this !" and then i spent the rest the day playing warcraft 3 on my eee pc, next to my desktop PC. the framerate wasnt good but i didnt care too much, it was fun anyway. here are the specs: Intel Atom N270 1GB DDR2 no video card of course 8.9 inch screen EDIT: i should specify my eee PC is running linux, which helps a lot to save memory.

Uh for my desktop? I wouldn't win that contest, but I still have a usable laptop, which I use occasionally. p3 @ 800mhz, 256 megs of ram 40 gig hd. It's hawt. I also have a laptop from Toshiba, something like I have no idea how much ram acutally, 5 gig hd, couldn't install win 98, only 95. I don't think even Damn Small Linux would run well.

pretty much play anything I want still. Total War Empire has probably been using up most of my time. Not sure if I'm getting Napoleon right away it seems like an expansion.

LOL winrar. My old laptop from 2003 has similar specs (it's a toshiba as well) but it barely works. Celeron 1.5ghz, 256mb ram, 20 gig hdd. Takes about 20 min to boot, longer if avast is updating. Was thinking about using it for ubuntu or maybe backtrack but I think the hardware (more than likely the HDD) is damaged hence the horrid performance even after reformatting.

Ubuntu won't run well. WIth a GUI on it anyway. Too little ram, Ubuntu needs 512 to be happy.

Its a standalone expansion.

most pc expansions are today... I'm mostly worried that it's just not going to be worth $40 basically just empire w/ a new campaign. Not to mention empire was fairly buggy until the patches came out.

Depends on which one - I have three computers now. Hand-built Gaming Rig: Intel C2Q Q9550 4 x 2.83 GHz, 2 GB DDR3 RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT OC. I don't think it's that bad. I play: Pretty much everything I want. HP Pavilion a6585I: Intel C2Q Q6600 4 x 2.4 GHz, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9300 GE. I'm using this one to post this. I play: Nothing. This thing's for surfing the internet only. ASUS UL30A Notebook: Intel C2D SU7300 2 x 1.3 GHz, 4 GB DDR3 RAM, Intel GMA 4500MHD onboard I play: Total Annihilation and Diablo 2. It's not really meant for gaming, so just looking for other old games pass the time.

3GB DDR2 RAM
