Thank you for posting this.

Mine should run it. This means that I don't need to cancel my pre-order.

Even if it does lag, I should have a new PC built by the new year. Happy days!

Are you running a laptop? Unfortunately it is not usually possible to replace the video cards for laptops

Mr A · 04-06-2008, 02:44 PM

Mine's good enough although I'm getting a new PC soon so I doubt I'll have any trouble.

EAUK_Adroit · 04-06-2008, 04:10 PM

I'm set.

Matt@Sim_Moves · 04-06-2008, 04:14 PM

So am I.

I'm in for a while!
Our stationary(?) PC supports everything!
And if Spore impress me, I will try to upgrade or buy new laptop

Cheers.

I need to update my video card but I knew that anyway, apart from that I'm good to go.

Prestonfs · 24-07-2008, 10:16 PM

I don't have pixel shading 2.

I am getting new vid card anyways.

Malgor · 24-07-2008, 11:49 PM

I'm just about set to run it. I have way more than it needs for everything, except hard drive space :/ I'm going to have to find something to delete, or shift to archive - or I'll have to convice the wife to buy me a new drive (or I'll steal one from her PC

)

How come I can't keep any empty space on 450 Gig, and she has more than 200 Gig free of her 360 Gig total? :P

avshockey23 · 29-11-2008, 06:40 AM

it says mine fails, but I play it fine?

(except for the BSOD in space stage, which everyone seems to be getting)

drew2794 · 27-03-2009, 07:24 PM

I have a Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family and I can run the creature creator and the full game fine. Which really makes me happy

because normally my laptop isn't that great for gaming.

Karagianis · 28-03-2009, 05:58 AM

Welcome, but please do not dredge up old fossil threads like this one as it annoys some people here. Doesn't bother me, but thought I should mention this before someone less polite shouts at you.
