What are the stats of your computer?

stats?


Re: Is This Video Card good for my PC? - BroadwayBeckons - 09-04-2009 07:39 PM

Statistics. Specifications. Whatever you prefer to call them. What kind of computer do you have?


Re: Is This Video Card good for my PC? - serp3821 - 09-04-2009 07:45 PM

Windows Vista Home Premium
AMD Athlon™64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+
2.00 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430

Yeah I got that website when someone posted the thing: "Can Your Computer Run It?"
And since i only have 64MB, TS3 needs 128MB. So they recommended those Video Cards.

This will likely be moved to the Technical Help section, just to let you guys know :3

If your computer has these requirements, you're good.
  • 512MB of System Memory
  • CD or DVD-ROM Drive
  • 100MB of available hard disk drive space for basic driver installation
  • Microsoft Windows Vista. or XP Operating System
  • PCI Express -compliant motherboard with one vacant
  • PCI Express x16 slot
  • 400W PCI ExpressR-compliant system power supply with a combined 12V current rating of 26A or more
  • One 6-pin PCI ExpressR supplementary power connector -or- Two 4-pin MolexR supplementary power connector


And Jen, I thought the Technical Help section was only for TS2.

If the question is in regards to being able to handle and/or run TS2, or even TS1 I always figured it should go there.  I haven't seen anything be moved from the Tech Help section to Off Topic before when it came to questions like this :3  I could be wrong, but just in case I wanted to give you a heads up.
