In those more than 400 comments, the answer to any MTW2 hardware requirements question should have been answered. :) If not, check out the <a href="http://www.totalwar.com/" rel="nofollow">official site</a>. If the requirements aren't listed, they have a forum there, where you can ask a much larger community about them. Again, sorry about having to close this discussion, but it's been hell on my bandwidth. Hope you find the rest of the blog interesting :) , Pedro Guys, I’m really sorry about this, but, after more than 400 comments (!), I’ll have to close the comments for this post.

(To you lot, that probably means I know nothing at all) But All I know is that I have a Dimension 4400 Dell PC (it seems...) and I really don't know that it is that great of a computer, however, I was wondering if it is at all within the system requirements for M2TW?

I ran the demo on a

VSYNC On
Unit Detail: Medium or High
Texture Quality: Medium or High (Get very slight lag sometimes when this and above high)

Sega have released an update M2TW demo which supports Athlon Xp's etc. The only problem is its an exclusive for those who preordered. However if you follow this link and read the very first post you will find the username and password required to download the demo from the sega website. The link is there too. Don't forget to sign up and thank Stig because he hardly ever gets anything right. The only down side is if you can't run this demo then you probably won't be able to run the full game and so need an upgrade. http://z10.invisionfree.com/The_Naked_Fanatics/index.php?showtopic=169&st=0&#last Enjoy.
