hi... i have this game Command & Conquer Generals the first and expansion..... well i bet a lot of ppl have this game... well the problem isn't in the game... but the thing is this game doesn't run fast enough.... so just my question... what really needs this game to make this game run as fast as any other old games...

does it need a really good video card??? or like does it need a really fast computer?

here are the speed and stuff for the computer where this game works....
AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+
2.08 GHZ, 448 MB of RAM

It needs a decent videocard.

But since you didn't mention your videocard we can't tell what the problem is.

Actually, you didn't mention anything so we'll probably never figure out the problem.

Everythignlooks like it shoudl run the game... maybe get some more memory. If you havnt already bought a graphics card I would reccomend getting at least an Nvidia 6200 or better if you play any decent games...

BTW: Good job on being rude raptor.

He did mention stuff:

AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+
2.08 GHZ, 448 MB of RAM

So how can you say he didnt mention anything...

Neil · « **Reply #5 on:** September 25, 2006, 03:24:34 PM »

Well he didn't mention his graphics card.

NonMember · « **Reply #6 on:** September 25, 2006, 04:00:46 PM »

how do u find out what the graphics card?

what do i have to open up my computer to see that???

and the game does run... but it doesnt' run as fast as like red alert 2 or yuri's revenge or like star craft... or smth like that....

may be it is true... about the space... kuz my hard drive free space is like 5% max.... and i can't figure out what stuff should i remove from there to make it run faster... well still first tell me how to find out what graphics card i have and then ur help will be greatly appriciated... or however u spell it...

You'll need something along the lines of an Nvidia FX5200 / ATI 9200 to play C&C Generals

You now have an onboard videocard which aren't very good and not always suitable for 3D games.

If you are going to argue do it in private messages.

NonMember, Raptor is correct in that you'll need a new graphics card to play this game smoothly.

Nothing. Two different names for the same thing.

Somewhere along the lines of 60-70 dollars will most likely get you a decent card.

What are the minimum requirements for C&C Generals?

NonMember · « **Reply #13 on:** September 27, 2006, 08:23:42 AM »

i don't know... i lost the box....well i got to go to school lol... so just tell me if any of those video cards or graphics cards any good?

in those websites that i gave ya..

Neil · « **Reply #14 on:** September 27, 2006, 09:30:00 AM »

Most of those cards are good... they'll all be able to play C&C great. Basically you get what you pay for, so the faster you want the more you'll spend. The $300 card you linked to is extremely fast, but also extremely expensive. Depends how much you are willing to spend and what other games you want to play. Unless money is no object, I'd suggest getting card for about $100-$200 and spending the rest of the money on some more RAM. Find out wether your mother has an AGP or PCI-E slot as the two types of graphics card are NOT compatable.

Edit: hahaha that should be motherboard. I left it in because it was slightly funny

NonMember · « **Reply #15 on:** September 27, 2006, 12:47:10 PM »

well how do u figure out whether u have pci-e or agp... and where i can buy the ram for computer??? :-?
oh nvm i guess... well i don't know if i am right... but any of these stuff helps to give a good ram??
http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=512MB+of+RAM&search_constraint=0&ic=20_0&ref=&search_sort=3
and could u explain me please what is ram good for and what is the video card good for... well just i kind of need to know if video or ram add any speed... and i only have about 350$... well i will have really soon... so that's only how much i am willing to spend... lol... i was actually thinking of psp... but the games are hella expansive... and i have enough games on pc and xbox... so i rather upgrade pc then buying psp...... well just answer my questions please...
Thank you...

You need a new computer.

Raptor · « **Reply #23 on:** September 29, 2006, 06:17:22 AM »

Yes.

But it may need a better videocard in the near future.

Raptor · « **Reply #24 on:** September 29, 2006, 08:20:58 AM »

Ehm, yeah, but like I said, it might need a new videocard.

Raptor · « **Reply #25 on:** September 29, 2006, 03:49:56 PM »

No, the videocard in the system you showed has an onboard videocard. Onboard videocards are pap.

It's not going to be able to properly run Battlefield 2, that's for sure. But the rest of the system is a good choice.

ATI Radeon X1300

You should get that card instead

flames_fan · « **Reply #27 on:** September 29, 2006, 05:09:27 PM »

which one is the other one...

Raptor · « **Reply #28 on:** September 30, 2006, 02:56:55 AM »

Will you make up your mind allready?

Neil · « **Reply #29 on:** September 30, 2006, 06:32:51 AM »

Did we establish wether your computer is PCI-E or AGP? And you'll ned 512mb RAM and somethling like 2ghz processor to play BF2.
