Hope I placed this in the right room... seeing as how this is the SOS Feedback portion of the forum...

Anyway as the title says I'd like to ask the CBT's regarding the system requirements as stated in the guides portion of the SoS website.

As we all know the minimum requirements are :

Windows XP/Vista
Pentium 4 1.0Ghz
256Mb
GeForce2 MX 400 (8M)
DirectX 9.0c

now I'd like to ask if any of the CBT's have gotten the game to work despite a few setbacks on one or more of these requirements... for example have any of you testers gotten the game to work despite your desktop being a pentium 3 with 800hz? does the low CPU capacity hinder smooth playing of the game? and so on and so forth....

I just wanted to know if the game is backward compatible or do the minimum requirement act as bars disallowing players that do not meet said requirements from playing the game outright...

Answers to the obvious questions are not necessary. Obviously you not having any video card will mean that you cant play the game, I'm simply limiting my question to the matters of the ram as well as the cpu version... Anyway thats all, gratz to all those who got invited (no i didnt make it) you're feedback will help me buff up my laptop/desktop for the upcoming open beta :)

I play the game smoothly on a Pentium III 860MHz

thanks for the reply.... I was asking coz i didn't think i'd make it into CBT but it turns out the gods (i.e. GM's :D) were smiling in my favor. So to all the people who have a CPU that is lower than the minimum requirement stated in the SoS website, have no fear SoS plays smoothly!!! I should know too... i have the same pentium III running on 78+mhz (>.> darn retailer sold me the wrong motherboard so my mhz suffered)
