Cool. I always wondered if there was a way to test the system before buying the game. I had to update my whole PC after I bought BF1942.

Anyways, it says my vid card does not have the pixel shader or whatever it is but CoD2 runs just fine. However, I do have to lower alot of graphics for Single player mode. MP works great though.

Wow! It says I can't play it! I better not tell my computer that, because it's playing it fine. As a matter of fact, it runs better than UO does.
Just for everyone's info, here is how lame my computer is:
Pentium 3
996.0 MHz
Geforce2 GTS - 32 meg ram, no pixel shader
LOL. All these things are under the minimum requirements to play the game. Either they built a better game than they know, or they are in cahoots with the computer parts companies.

My Specs (just incase anyone with similar specs was wondering if theyd be able to play it or not).

Intel® Celeron® CPU 2.40GHz
System RAM 255.5 MB
Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
Vid card: NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X (GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X)
CD Rom: ATAPI CD-RW 52X24

LMAO! I Just put XP on this system, I saw this earlier and ran the check It told me i couldnt play it. Processor speed is only 1.3 needs 1.4. So i went and downloaded the demo anyway & installed it. And to my surprise it ran fine & just as Bargod said, smoother than uo!

It's all a scam, I tells ya!

Yeah, it told me I had a different CPU than what i have.Told me I had a Xeon. Is there a diff. 'tween a Intel Xeon & Celeron???My CPU was the only failure that I had.

Your right bargod, that is lame computer specs.

LOL LAME !!!

I'm taking donations for a new computer. Or parts. Or just give me a computer.

Mine failed both CPU & Processor speed. But it runs better than uo on my system.

What do you need a new video card for?

Mine doesn't have HWT&L and their is something wrong with the compatibility of Direct x cause I can't even play the demo

Your DX setup is probably corrupted somehow. I would reinstall Windows and run the test again.
