Minimum requirements:

700 mhz G4?? WTF? So my 900 mhz G3 won't run this (even with RAM maxed?). Hmm.:rolleyes:

That's because the ut2k3 engine loves L3 caches and your 12 inch pb doesn't have one. That's why it runs fine on my dual 867 w/geforce 4mx 32MB and not the 12 incher.

Versiontracker says the download is 504 Mbs!!!! The Army needs to start putting this game on a cd and selling it for like 5 bucks because there's no way I can download that.

I think if you go to your local Army recruitment offices they have it on CD there.

plus you have a dekstop, already if you get a laptop you are sacrificing much. i havent triend on my powermac though, probably not as good as my pc but it would be interesting to see.

hmmm that's a shame, but an expected one.

I know that AA uses a slightly less demanding version of the engine. Anyway it's 300MB downloaded now, so I'll give it a go on the 12".
