[QUOTE="Valavien, post: 13841, member: 1085"] The best thing you can try is to get any form of 3dfx video card. Game performance is greatly depended on having a 3dfx not an nVidia or Matrox card. At least 8mb of memory on that card as well. They shouldn't be too much these days if you can find one. The cpu speed doesn't really mean that much compared to having really fast hard drives and a ton of ram! 256mb will be ok but 320 or above would be much better. This game uses the hddrive alot so faster the better. Your 40gb unit is fine, just find that video card and you will be happy. Make sure you also have a decent sound system because the game has beautiful music and sound effects. I am about 3/4 of the way through it and haven't played it for about 5 months because of hardware failure. With my gear finally back, this weekend I am finishing the install and then the first game that goes on will be Ultima 9...wish me luck!:D [/QUOTE]
