Can some one help me for checking my system!!! Remove this text

Hi Guys,

Can you please take a look on below listed PC system of mine since I am not sure if I will encounter the problems that lots of the players did. And especially my graphic card....

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

OS - Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600)

Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+ , MMX, 3DNow, ~1.5GHz

Memory: 256MB RAM

DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0 (4.09.0000.0900)

Graphic Card name: 3D Blaster RIVA TNT2 M64 ( Latest driver installed )

Display Memory: 32.0 MB

Cheers,

I've been doing research on it and the only thing I've managed to find in common between people with errors like me (low FPS, around 4 during battles and about 30 when staring at a few units just standing around doing nothing in a corner of a map on lowest settings possible) is this:

1. OS. ~80% of us use win2k pro.
2. DirectX. ~90% use DirectX 9.0a, but that can't be the issue because I tried it on DirectX 9.0 and it still sucked (although it SLIGHTLY IMPROVED FPS by about 4-5)

I have verified that point 2 is not the cause. Point 1 still may be, however it is unlikely to be, the problem. I tried running RoN on a lesser machine that used ME and another that used 98 but both machines lacked compatable GFX cards.

My current theory is it's a combination of OS incompatability with the GFX card we're using. I think it might be some weird issue with RoN not fully being comptabile with the win2k pro drivers they use for GeForce 4's. But the fault with that is some people are using Radeon's, and that it seems very unlikely.
