Was getting interested in buying this game. I have a pentium IV but only 32 mb video card. Really won't run without 64mb v card?

Officially, the game requires a 64mb video card. Anything lower, and the performance of the game might be slow enough that it becomes unplayable.

With that said, however, we have had a number of folks with 32mb cards play the game, and they were ok with the results.

I would like to add that a hard requirement is that it is DirectX 9 compatible. Most of the NVIDIA and Radeon cards are.

I've also seen 64M video cards as cheap at $29-39 dollars so it is a pretty cheap upgrade. 128M cards are becoming the norm and so the 64M cards are clearence items mostly

I just bought a Pent IV with integrated graphics on the motherboard that can use up to 224 megs graphics out of 512 megs of total ram depending on need. Will this run TS: Alexander and Caesar adequately? I'm waiting to buy a dedicated graphics card untill I know what I want.

Dave,

I suggest that you run a DxDiag and either post the stats here or mail it to support@koiosworks.com. We can take a look and make sure that you are good to go with what you have. It is really hard to guess what an integrated graphics card will be able to handle.
