Yeah, it means you're up poop creek.

Your computer isn't good enough to run it.

I have a 3.0 ghz and it has to be on low for the game to run smoothly...

[random666]

my pc has a 2.55ghz processor and 512mb of ram, isnt that enough?

I would think so, it might barely work. They put so much ****ing detail into the game and they didn't realize that about 0.005% of computer users own a computer with 6.0 ghz.

The demo works fine, it's just the actual game takes soooo much freakin power to play on medium.

F.E.A.R,HL2,Quake4,BlackandWhite2,CoD2 all work smoothly on mine..

I put the graphics on a high level and it works better..its weird,on CoD2 i thought on a lower spec it would run better but it wasnt until I put it past 800x600 that it looked amazing.

Sorry im digressing...I dont know man..games require a hell of a lot of power these days. Best waiting until you eithr get new graphics card.($200-400).or just leave it and feel sad

have you updated all of your drivers? And I mean all of them.

Rise of Nations > Age of Empires

[BassVirtuoso]

I have the full version and my 3500+ handles it fluidly.

how would i do that?

[Der Meister]

how would i do that?

go on your graphics card website and download the latest drivers for it, also run windows update and go on your motherboard website to make sure you're running the newsest bios.

[random666]

How would i find out what graphics card i have?

[Rusty Metal Head]

go to "run" and type dxdiag

[morrissey]

I only have 1.6ghz and 512mb and the full version runs absolutely fine for me, not laggy or anything.

[punkrocker-182]

I got a 2.66GHz and 512mb of DDR ram and a GeForce fx5200 128mb graphis card and it runs fine on it. mabye its his graphis card.

Demo eh?

Rise of Nations > Age of Empires

Don't make me laugh. It has nothing on Age of Empires III.

However, a RoN II would indeed > AoE III.

[bassplayer18]

i bought AOE III a few days ago and i have an athlon 64 3500+, 1gig ram, geforce 6800gt and it runs just fine with everything maxed out. but ill admit, it does get alittle choppy when theirs 100+ objects moving on the screen. threadstarter, i recommend taking the game back and exchanging it for a new copy! maybe you got a bad copy. also, update all your drivers, AOE III should run on your system.

Do you know if they're making a RoN II? cos i loved the first game
