1 gig at least more would prob be good.

Windows Vista would be also memory killers ;(

Microsoft Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP
- 128 MB of RAM
- Pentium 800 MHz or equivalent
- 64 MB 3D video card
- 1.5 GB of free hard disk space
- 32x CD-ROM drive
- DirectX 8.0 compatible sound card
- 56 kbps Internet connection for online play

don't seems so bad to me

*by the way ageofempires3.us is available

That's the bare minimum you need.

Recommended system requirements:

I have Radeon 9200 video card + 1GB of premium RAM and DOOM3 is a total killer :o So let's hope my next upgrade will be a better videocard

If you're talking about games that need high requirements, Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault is definately the CRAYZIEST one... it requires MINIMUM 1.5GhZ machine, 256MB ram, and a DX8/9 videocard... a great game tho if you have all that :D

BTW, I switched out of AoE once Empire Earth came out, since EE2 is awesome and much better than any AoE series. Try it out!

BF2 requires much more

The AoE3 demo is out now, but they could have done a better job with it. I've played the the developer versions of AoE3 (great knowing half the people that do game testing for them), and it is MUCH better than what the demo shows.

Yeah, EA is like going crazy, they want everyone to have super-duper computers that come out every month

Nah nah....

World of warcraft uses 100% memory usage even with 4gigs ram.
So does Starwars galexies. But then agian these are games that load modules from the server like buildings and such. SWG is CRAZY!

I heard this game is going to be good, i might get it.

Dude i play aoe all the time memory killer yea right just get a xp lol

 

[tony84]

im sticking with xp im not bothered about vista probably gonna have loads of bugs anyway so whats the point

 

[crazy]

Battlefield 2 is probably the game with the highest requirements but it has the best gameplay.

I cant wait to buy AOE 3. i like playing AOE ever since it been out.
