644128 2008-02-27 07:23:00 The new Lost game has just been released and I want to know if my late-2005 PC could run it.

Here are the game's minimum requirements:

Supported OS: Windows Vista /XP (only)
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon MP 2400+ (3.5 GHz Pentium 4/AMD Athlon or 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo/Athlon 64 X2 recommended)
RAM: 1 GB (2 GB recommended)
Video Card: 128 MB DirectX 9.0c–compliant, Shader 3.0–enabled video card (256MB recommended)
Hard Drive Space: 5 GB

Here are my specs:

OS: Windows XP Home Edition
Processor: AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2800+, MMX, 3DNow, ~1.6GHz
RAM: 1 GB
Video Card: 128 MB NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000
Hard Drive Space: 200 GB

Will the game run on my system? If not, what parts do I need to upgrade?

Thanks!

644129 2008-02-27 07:26:00 Probably the CPU.

Since you say its 1.6, you need 2.4 +

And the Sempron is the lower of the 3 (AM2/Athlon/Sempron).

Whats the Sempron?? AM2? Socket A? 754?

So does that mean it's good?

644133 2008-02-27 08:19:00 The game needs shader model 3.0. I think MX4000 is only 1.0, or was it 2.0? So no, you can't play it unless you buy an SM3.0 card. The CPU should be OK, minimum is a 2400+, and you have 2800+.

EDIT: just saw it wants an Athlon XP as minimum. Sempron is a poorer performer, but you should still be able to play the game, seeing it is 2800+.

Oh true, so if I upgraded my video card, I should be good to go?

Oh that's awesome to hear, thank you!
I don't mind sacrificing a few nice graphical effects if it means I can actually play the game! :D
