Hardware requirements

The sim ran quite successfully on my Celeron-466 with only a 466 MHz CPU and a Banshee 2D/3D Graphics Accelerator Card which only had 16 MEG of RAM.

Addition of a Hercules 3D Prophet III Titanium 500 card built around a Geforce 3 chipset and with 64 MEG of onboard RAM enabled me to sample most of the graphical delights.

In 2002 I upgraded my CPU to an AMD Athlon XP2200+ chipset and. predcitably, I could now run the sim with all the graphics options maxed out, and at a frame rate which hovered around 40 fps, occasionally dipping down to 20 fps and peaking around 70.

It seems that Microsoft's strategy is to make their new releases playable on current machines at the time of release, but build in "future - proofing" in the sense that computers available about 18 months after the release date can push the engine to it's limits.
