I got a laptop about a year ago, a 2.2GHz Turion with 1GB RAM, so it's not a total slouch. But I wanted a tiny laptop for ultra-light portability, and so it came with a Xpress 200M (128MB integrated). I'm really hoping it will be able to run at least an ugly version of the updated game.

My main rig is an Athlon 1800+, 512 RAM, GeForce4 MX4000 128MB.

Until Microsoft releases SP5 for Vista, I will not have to worry about DX10. I tried Vista, after an hour of mindless pop-ups blocking me, I said screw it, I'll stick with XP.

And like Ambro said, making games is a business. Sounds cruel, but that is how it is.

Just wanted to point out that my comment on that lead with: "As an absurd example . . ." .

Must find time to play more jumpgate.....

Edit: It is my 30th B-day today.. maybe a screenshot or beta invitation would be nice present for this old man?

Happy Birthday! We'll have something soon. (Can I say soon with getting in trouble?)

[Lordopic]

you forgot the TM

Just to add im now up to 2Gig Mem and have a 256- 7600GS so i think im good for the new Jumpgate

P4P800 Delux MB
2.8 Intel Processor
1 gig Corsair Ram
WD 80 gig SATA Drive 8 mb cach
128 MB ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
XP Home

It wouldnt take much to kick this up a notch. A simple graphics upgrade and some ll memory sticks and maxing out my CPU would be relatively inexpensive but, so far I can play any modern game without hesitation.

I would like to get 256mb graphics card though.
