Old Dell

hey PC users...it's kernel.panic (WhoTF?)

My girlfriends brother-in-law sent me his old Dell.
It's a dimension 2350 with what I think is a 1.8 P4 with onboard graphics and no AGP slot for adding video...(IT WAS FREE, STOP LAUGHING!)

Any chance in hell it will run VO???
I haven't had a PC in years, so I thought I'd ask...
It's got XP, but don't know what else is there, I haven't turned it on yet...

Put it this way kp, i have seen vendetta run on a 400mhz P2 that had 196mb of ram, turned a few details down, it ran suprisingly nice, so errrm, yeah, it will run.

You can probably do 640x480 at Low Detail. Maybe even 800x600 at Medium, depending on exactly which integrated graphics we're talking about. Just turn the LOD down to ~1/1.

turn off all details. you will be reminded of xwing on a 486 circa 1993.

on the other hand u can see enemies coming alot further away

VO is fairly undemanding in PC terms. The horsepower of the P4 will make up for the lack of a decent gfx card, providing you've got enough RAM to let it breathe (256 will scrape by, 512 is better, esp. if you're running that bloatfest of an OS, XP)
