    [​IMG] I know some people here don't appreciate Dungeon Siege, but I'm planning on buying the sequel. Unfortunately, the game boxes I've looked at tell me no details as to the computer requirements: RAM, video card, DirectX, etc. Can anybody clue me in on what I need? I figure it's the video card that'll be the problem. TIA

    Have a more specific question relating to the video card. It says that nVidia GeForce cards will work. I have a GeForce MX 440. I can't find any more details as to how low DS's GeForce requirements are. All the reviews/specs I've read (a good dozen) only say GeForce. Is it possible a new game like this will work with an old video card?!?

    Considering the boxes over here says that my really crappy integrated intel graphic card from about 2002 or 2003 is compatible with it(listed under minimum requirements), I'd say that I fail to see how it wouldn't work. I mean, Intel's card are so ridiculously bad.

    My brother has played it on a Celeron 700 machine with 512 MB RAM and a GeForce 2 Titanium and it has worked out for him.

    What - Intel makes vidi cards?!? This is the first I've _ever_ heard of that (which says something as to how bad they must be :) )

    All the online sources I've found spout off the official M$/GPG quotation:
    "ATI Radeon 7000+ / nVidia GeForce / Intel crap 1, 2 or 3" ;)

    One review commented that the graphics aren't THAT improved over the original game - it may well mean that ANY nVidia card from the long GeForce series will do... :skeptic:

    Intel make intergrated graphics chips...those things that come with the motherboards but gamers never use because they have a 3D card. Also because they suck. A lot.

    According to the Microsoft site, your MX440 will work with both Dungeon Boring 1 and Dungeon Boring 2.
