You will be prompted to install DirectX during the installation of this game if this or a more recent version isn't already properly installed on your system. NOTE: DirectX may require the "latest" updates for your operating system. This may also include the latest drivers for your particular motherboard, sound, and video hardware. Installation: Installation requires 3.5 GB of free hard drive space. We recommend that you have at least an additional 200 MB of free space available after installing the game for the Windows swap/page file and save games.
July 22, 200520 yr Is it even possible to have 250 MB of RAM? "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
July 22, 200520 yr The biggest effect would probably be loading times, since that's when a lot of information would need to get swapped in and out of memory. Even then, the game shouldn't necessarily run badly (assuming a good CPU and Video Card), unless it actually exceeds the amount of available memory while within a particular level and you have to go into virtual memory. And even then, it's possible to streamline the memory by making sure that the most important and frequently used calls remain in memory (or better yet cache, although cache isn't very big) so as to minimize the extent that you have to dive into virtual memory.
July 22, 200520 yr Is it even possible to have 250 MB of RAM? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If his computer is reporting that it has 250Mb of RAM, it's possible that he has an onboard graphics card, in which case Kotor 2 definitely won't run. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
July 22, 200520 yr The game should run quite well with 512 MB RAM. IE : if you can afford it, buy another 256 MB RAM.
July 24, 200520 yr my computer has about 250 MB ram, I'm wondering if kotOR2 can run on my computer? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As a tech guy on the side, I have to say no. You see ths computer will rely on your HD, and you computer will bog and crash... Your Operating Syatem needs 64 to 128 depening on the version, which doesn't leave much for anything else.. Once your computer starts to touch the 'Virtual Memory' page, which is on your HD, then you could look at a full crash and burn...
July 24, 200520 yr Accessing Virtual memory should not crash your computer. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It will most likey affect his computer, for his RAM memory will be all filled before that, and it will crash the computer.. It will start off slugish, and then go into a crash. He only has 256MB RAM, and the OS takes at least 64MB. The game also need 256 minimum to work.
July 24, 200520 yr The game should run quite well with 512 MB RAM. IE : if you can afford it, buy another 256 MB RAM. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How much would another 256 MB RAM cost btw?? I'm thinking of ugrading my RAM too.
July 24, 200520 yr DONT TRY IT on a poor computer with borderline specs! The acceptable framerate on the initial maps might fool you into playing the game, but it only get worse as you progress to other planets, like Telos surface. (OMG) I
July 24, 200520 yr Heheh my computer is: Celeron 433 160 mb ram (64+64+32) hdd 10 g (1.5 left) GeForce 4mx440 :] and the game is runing lol :D
