When they mean minimum, it means minimum.
It's doesn't say it's the mimimum to run the game at decent details and resolutions.

I think they need to stop fooling people into thinking they can play the game and still experience all it has to offer at those speeds. It's the same thing with the boxes not telling you that you need a high-speed connection to play the online games and have them run halfway decent. That's why you see so many morons playing Battlefield 1942 with their modems getting 300 and 400 pings.
I am one of those 56k morons who plays BF 1942, my ping is 160-200. Battlefield 1942 is playable with 56k. There should be a warning on those boxes that the chances are very high that you are kicked due to your slow connection speed.
I really dont see where your reasoning comes from, I'm sure people with that kind of hardware are used to games looking bad in exchange for it playing well.Quote:

Yes but people with 128MB video cards, 2+Ghz Cpus and 1GB of ram are also running slow with this one.Quote:

Sadly that's true. I have a 2400+ and a ti4600 at 320/760, and it doesn't run as well as I'd expect.Quote:

There *may* be a slight memory leak. I have a map now with a population of around 86K. I notice the game uses about 200MB of ram when I open the map. The longer I'm playing the higher it goes. I've seen it over 360MB. My system was using 506MB total. However if I close the game and come back in it drops back to 200MB. Its a good thing I have 1GB now :) I tried to get it higher but it seems to be locking up my PC now after about 1 hour! I lowered my CPU Overclock but it did not help. I doubt it is the new memory as I use over 800MB when running .NET in vmware and I have no problems.Quote:

So did the 1gig help? If the performance issues and level of diffulty can be taken care of, then it would be a superb game. Is there a patch for SC4?Quote:

I have not seen complete system usage go over 506MB yet. The game locks the system up now before I've been in long enough for it to get much higher. I wonder what it takes on citys around 100-200k? I've only got it up to 86K. Right now though it does not take long to drop back to about 75k! The large apartments are starting to get abandoned. I get it up another 10K or so and it drops back to the 70's. Traffic is OK (very extensive subway), health, education and pretty much everything else is maxed out. My satisfaction level is 1 notch from the highest. They want more industrial but everytime I change a zone to industrial it kills the residential or business :mad: If business dies residental follows. There is no free space on the map to add anything.Quote:
