It's a Jungle-based FPS. Wont run very well on a sub-1GHz CPU machine.

I've played it on a D600. Minimum of 2100 is bollocks; it would play fine of a 1200.

Eh?

Resolution is a graphics card/monitor issue.

The CPU just deals with things that happen - movement, bullets firing, weather effects, etc.

Resolution has a lot to do with CPU.

Things that happen are dealt with by the CPU

Smaller Res -> the things happening are smaller

Therefore..... because the things are smaller, the CPU doesnt have to work as hard.. Smiley

The resolution doesn't affect the size of things happening, it just affects the size/amount of things that you see.

Yeah, for lower resoutions, lower quality models can be used which help speed things up, but I don't think that's a big enough factor to make a 1.2Ghz machine have problems with the game. Tongue

Does affect the size!
In 800x600 something may be 4 pixels, whereas in 1024x764 it will be something like 5/6..

That's physical display size. It doesn't affect the size of the virtual object. Tongue

Hold on.... big doo doo...
The smaller the res, the bigger an object, the more squares of the same colour the dot has to do, meaning it changes less, meaning less energy is used, meaning it finishes quicker...
