[B]I have the old V1.0. Lots of fun. Got a friend that can download this latest version when it is up for download, but I cant seem to find any system req's to run it. Can one of you in the know please fill me in on what exactly the system req's are to run this game, and any of the other Matrix games for that matter. I looked over the site pretty well I think but still cant find any hard info on this. Thanks to any of you who answer. I have a pretty old machine and I dont know if these later versions will run.
:D

The main problem is hard drive space, with just 1 mc, the stereo sounds, and quite a few user scenarios and campaigns, spwaw has bloated up over a gig in size for me.
Any video card that can do 800x600 256 colors will do (which is anything with at least 1 meg of mem).
System ram is another thing to look at, some people (the campaign collective) build battles with as many units as the game will allow, on a very big map, you are looking at something that needs a pretty good chunk of memory.
It only needs directx (6?) though things do run fine all the way thru 8.0a, some have reported problems with dx8.1 and win98.
As far as NT service packs, etc, if other games run, then spwaw should run.
A sound card is mandatory, pay $15 and slip one in when your boss isn't looking, if you are playing on a work machine.
thanks, John.
