Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
800 Mhz processor or bigger
256 RAM or more
32MB or bigger video card compatible with DirectX 9.0C

Yes, I kept the box

By the way, these are just the minimal, not the recommended.

Q: What are the Minimum specs and full specs?

Minimum specs would be a GeForce 2 level video card on a Pentium III 1000MHz with 256MB of total RAM. I'd recommend playing it on an ATI 9800 Pro (or equivalent) with 256MB of RAM and a 2 GHz processor.

these I found in the FAQ under the databanks link.

It is highly recommended to have at least a GeForce 5000 series card or a Radeon 9000 series card, or better. Though the game is playable with lesser cards, those lesser cards often lack true DirectX 9 support (GeForce4 MX and its family come to mind) and wil cause issues that will hamper your enjoyment of the game severely.

If you're unsure, download the demo and give it a try.

Do not buy the game with a GeForce 2 and 256 MB of RAM. The ships will be monochromatic instead of awesome and the games will take five minutes to load. Just play a different game and buy GC2 when you get a different computer.

Many system requirement issues can be bypassed by simply zooming out to icon view. My computer isn't really up to par for the Gigantic games I play (I only have a 1 GB of RAM, which really isn't enough for this game, and my video card isn't very good). In fact, it downright sucks most of the time. But if I zoom out to icons, the game flies. I recommend trying it if you're lacking in system specs, though I strongly advise against playing the game with less than 1 GB of RAM.

I have a P4 3,2GhZ - ATI x600 with 128M Ram and 1GB Ram. should be enought I think. But I will give the demo a try
