IT WORKS FINE BECUASE OF YOUR VIDEO CARD NOT YOUR PROCCESSOR.

ur video card wont do much good if u try and run a high quality game with a pentium 2 procesor.

YOUR VIDEO CARD HAS 5x AS MUCH OF AN AFFECT ON THE PERFORMANCE AS YOUR PROCESSOR DOES.

YOUR VIDEO CARD IS 10x MORE IMPORTANT THEN YOUR PROCCESSOR IS WHEN IT COMES TO RUNNING GAMES!!!!!!

WHY DON'T WE STOP ALL THIS YELLING!!!!????

Mad dog you are wrong. A cpu is the basic horsepower of any pc not every graphics cards supports hardware t&l like nvidia's geforce boards. I have a 1.33ghz thunderbird and a voodoo 5 since upgrading to the thunderbird games have been running a hell of a lot smoother.

Quake 3 is a gamewhere most graphics cards drop fps because they are fillrate limited. However with a good cpu the graphics card can offload the excess amount of work for the cpu todo.

You are only as good as your cpu when it comes down to it your graphics card even with Hardware t&l support still needs the cpu for other computations.

Of course, you are correct yes if you have a Moderate video card and a high-end proccessor then yes the proccessor will have the biggest affect. Although it depends on what video card and how much Ram and what kind of RAM you have.

What i'm trying to say is that Ladmo is full of shit. You'd need AT LEAST a 1.4 athlon and a GeForce 3 to run Max Payne with everything as high as it can be.

I upgraded my computer to a
P4 1.4 GHz
256MB RAM
Geforce 2 GTS 32MB

I hope to god this is good enough to run MOH:AA as good as it looked in the movies

AMD Thunderbird 1.4 ghz
384 mb RAM
Visiontek GeForce 3 64mb
Soundblaster Live! 5.1 Surround Sound
52x CD-ROM, 16x DVD-ROM, Phillips CD-RW
30gb HD

Hope this runs it, lol. This is my main computer for gaming, but I have two others, this one im on now is shitty and I jsut use it for the web.

Also, Quake III even runs on my P2 433 mhz with 16 mb voodoo 2 and stealth 3 card in it. So I'd say most people will be able to run MOH:AA. Thats why I lvoe the quake III engine, beatiful and flexible.
