For those who visit the General talk, who still plays Live 2005 on PC? Actually, if you've even played it, could you tell me your specs? I'm getting it for PC but I'm too afraid it'll choke and die.

I have it on PS2 but since I had to move, I don't have a tv in my room anymore so I'm at the mercy of the family & I haven't had a chance for over a month.

So tell me your specs and if it's low enough if it played, nothing about 1.3 Ghz orso, keep it simple.

I used to play it on my P4, 2ghz, 384mb DDR RAM, Radeon ATI 128mb card with 1280*1028mb resolution, on quite high detail settings.
Worked great.

My old PC burned some time ago :lol: :lol: :lol: I had to get a new one. It's 2.0 GHz, 256 DDR Ram, and I got a Nvidia FX 128 MB.

My old one run Live 2005 but I couldn't play it. That was because I had a shitty 8 MB video card. It was less than 900 MHz (can't remember right now) and 256 Ram... (Y)

Press Start, press Run and type in dxdiag. Et voila.

Or:

Press start, press run & type msinfo32.exe

2.0 Ghz, round 450 Ram, not great but not bad either. It's right in between.

you do it through the bios, Either by increasing the fsb frequency (easiest way) or by increasing teh cpu multiplier (too much will burn your cpu if u don't have the appropriate cooling).

Search the net for how to adjust your BIOS, and remember to do so very carefully as to not fry your computer. My BIOS have automatic overclocking, all I have to do is click a button. :)
