System Requierment For Medieval 2 Total War and current Attila hardware

Here is
The Computer I recommend as a Minimum to play Medieval II Total War

Since many people ask me that question here is the official answer.

As stated by CA on the Medieval II section of this site:

Minimum System Requirements:

Creative Assembly recommend the Windows® 2000/XP.
With a processor Celeron 1.8GHz Pentium 4(1500MHz) or equivalent AMD® processor.
512MB RAM. (i personnaly would recommend at least a gig)
8x Speed DVD-ROM drive (note the fact that they ask for a DVD)
11.0 Gigs of uncompressed free hard disk space. (that's a lot!)
100% DirectX® 9.0c compatible 16-bit sound card and latest drivers. ( that mean probably ATI 9800 and above...)
100% Windows® 2000/XP compatible mouse, keyboard and latest drivers.
DirectX® 9.0c.
128MB Hardware Accelerated video card with Shader 1 support and the latest drivers.
Must be 100% DirectX® 9.0c compatible.
Monitor must be able to display 1024x768 resolution or above.

Multiplayer:

Internet (TCP / IP) play supported, internet play requires broadband connection and latest drivers, LaN play requires Network card.

Important Note: Some cards may not be compatible with the 3D acceleration features utilised by Medieval II: Total War. Please refer to your hardware manufacturer for 100% DirectX® 9.0c compatibility.

Now from my point of View, I Recommend an ATI Radeon x1600pro 512meg of Ram Minimum This is probably the most balanced card for the moment. It doesn't worth it to buy the best card on the market for the moment because of vista, Vista will requier new hardware, so don't waste money on over expensive 3d card for Medieval 2 Total War
