Hi ppl,
This is my first message here. I've recently installed CnC Generals Zero Hour, but the game is terribly slow even in 1 vs 1 maps despite I've set the details on low and 800x600 res. For your knowledge, I always make sure that no unnecessary apps run in the background.
As I've read the minimum requirements 4 the game are: 800 CPU, 128 RAM, 32MB graph. card, mine are: 1G CPU, 256 RAM, NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 32MB card.
If I have to upgrade/change some hardware, plz advice with the minimum cost.
Thanx in advance...

Forza ITALIA !

Here's the requirements for the demo. Notice what is listed for the video card. Your card is pre-Geforce2 so I suspect that is the main problem. Increasing the RAM would help too. You should have at least 512MB for decent performance with WinXP, even more for decent gaming (1GB+).

Minimum System Requirements For The Command & Conquer Generals Demo:

* Windows® 98, Windows 98SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP (Windows NT and Windows 95 not supported)
* 800 MHz Intel® Pentium® III or AMD® Athlon™ processor
* 128 MB RAM
* 8x CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
* 1.8 GB free hard disk space plus space for saved games (additional space required for Windows swap-file and DirectX™ 8.1 installation)
* 32 MB video card using the Nvidia® GeForce2™, ATI® Radeon™ 7500 AGP video card, or more recent chipset with DirectX 8.1 compatible driver
* DirectX 8.1 compatible 16-bit sound card
* Keyboard; Mouse
