kingofsquid Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 I am hoping to soon get TSL for PC (because of the mods, obviously) Can XP handle TSL? I saw something on this computer earlier called Program Compatibility Wizard. Could that help?
Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 XP will work with The Sith Lords and, in fact, is the best OS for the game. What about the other requirements? Do you have the graphics card and RAM? "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
HoonDing Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Unless your computer is ancient (pre 2005), it should run fine on XP. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
kingofsquid Posted July 19, 2009 Author Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) How do you find that? Wait. Give me a second..... No, cannot find the graphics card and RAM. This thing has played Diner Dash and Star Wars: Force Commander. Should this thing be able to play TSL if it can play that? Edited July 19, 2009 by kingofsquid
Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Maybe. If not you can always upgrade as well - getting a system that would run The Sith Lords would not cost that much. "Geez.

cogadh Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Run a DirectX Diagnostic, it will give you all the pertinent information about the system's hardware. Simply click Start > Run > type "dxdiag" (without the quotes) > click OK. When the diagnostic finishes running, the system RAM will be listed on the System tab while the video card info can be found on the Display tab. Cry 'Havoc' and let slip the dogs of War!
kingofsquid Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 card info-ATI Mobility 128 AGP 2X (DELL) Manufacturer-ATI Chip Type-33 33MHz(AGP) Approx. Total Memory-8.0 MB Memory-256 MB RAM Op. System- Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600)
HoonDing Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 That should be alright... but I'm not sure how well XP works with 256 MB RAM... The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
cogadh Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 That video card is absolutely NOT alright. Not only is the ATI 128 family specifically listed as incompatible in the game's system requirements, it is only an 8MB card, while the game requires at minimum a 32MB video card. Sorry to say, but that machine is incapable of playing this game. Cry 'Havoc' and let slip the dogs of War!
Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Ouch. Oh well, it should be cheap to upgrade to a slightly better, TSL friendly GPU. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
cogadh Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Unlikely, it has an ATI 128 Mobility... that means laptop. Given the age of that particular card/chipset, I seriously doubt this is a "gaming laptop" that has upgradable graphics. Cry 'Havoc' and let slip the dogs of War!
Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Opps, my bad. I guess I had on a hat of -10 reading comprehension there. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
kingofsquid Posted July 21, 2009 Author Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) Crapcrapcrapcrap!!!!!!!!!! Ah, welll, there is always my grandparents computer, which is the one that played Diner Dash and Force Commander. (wrote from 2 differen computers) Started this on that computer. And no, this is not a gaming laptop. It can play Warcraft 3, although that is unimportant..... Edited July 21, 2009 by kingofsquid
