Any lower-end limits to what kind of hardware you want us looking at?

I have this old dual core laptop sitting around home.

Dont quote me on specifics but I BELIEVE it is 1.4Ghz, 1GB RAM, XP SP3, with a 6200M nvidia card. Is this something that would be valuable for you to receive performance info on?

What kind of resolution would you expect for it to perform well at? Native resolution is 1280x800

If so I am prepared to beat it up when I get home from work today.

I have a similar setup. A 6800. I suspect you won't be able to get yours working at anything above 1024x768. Give it a shot though, can't hurt to have more debug.err files floating about.

I believe a DirectX 9 card was the minimum required for video, which the 6200 is not the oldest of. Just make sure the drivers are new.

The game will require a DirectX9.0c card (and the 6200 is, though slow), so finding the bottom tolerable point in that range will be helpful. It may work on 9.0a/b cards too (we're not using Shader 3 AFAIK) but we won't be guaranteeing it.
