Read that AOE 3 is going to have mind blowing realistic graphics.
And the thing is they will be playable on a broad spectrum of machines.......so thats good news for a lot of people.

OK, I refused to believe it, but the Age of Empires III Demo *IS* out. When Cody talked to me about this yesterday, I refused to believe that an RTS game employing Havok 2.0 would release a demo thats a paltry 375MB in size. Today, I know that's not true and the demo *is* that small. I guess I am too used to all new demos being at least 600 MB+.

The demo went online yesterday night. In any case, you can download the demo straight from Microsoft here. The demo is 365.83 MB and the minimum system requirements for the demo are as follows:

- Windows XP (before anyone asks, Windows XP or later ONLY)
- 1.4GHz Processor
- 256MB RAM
- 64 MB Video Card that supports HW T&L
- Approximately 370MB of Hard Drive space (not including installer)
- DirectX 9.0c

The demo features two playable single player scenarios as well as two skirmish maps with two playable civilizations. Knock yourselves out.

What is RTS, Havok 2.0 and 64 MB Video Card that supports HW T&L?

Will demo run on Intel 845GVSR with 64MB onboard Video? No external graphics card.

845chipset with support for DDR RAM were outdated way back in 2002 itself. So if you thought you got a good system 1 year back, think again. PC vendors are always after their part of the earnings and as a result it becomes important how you build your system with the right components rather than getting it assembled from a dealer with no idea of what he is giving. As for the games you are willing to try on onboard video, dont give it a try for GTA:SA and MP2 :d

RTS = Real Time Strategy... a genre of games.

Havok 2.0 = Physics engine employed in the game

"64 MB Video Card that supports HW T&L"... not onboard gfx card as they don't support HW T&L (Hardware Transform and Lighting) [Except for Geforce 2 MX 200 onboard in case of nForce2 chipset and new generation Intel GMA ones] .. This game requires external Gfx card with atleast 64 MB of onboard memory (that means memory chips on the Gfx card) supporing HW T&L.

Wokay! I think I will still give it a shot and see if my onboard card can run it. 375Mb is worth taking the risk. Lets see if I get lucky!
