If the demo ran smooth on my comp....?

This is a little off topic but my system crashed on Chapter 1, part 2 of the DEMO. It was not an allocation error, but something else which I can't remember. I think the problem is I don't have enough memory. Here are my specs:

Win XP
2.0 gig AMD K4
Direct X 9
S3 Graphics Pro Savage DDR
and finally, only 224 mb RAM.

If I add more RAM willl that solve the problem?

yup you ain't got enough ram... you need that 256mb of ram the CPU can be whatever you like it to bee but then you will have bad framerates.... it should work on a 400mhz machine but with very bad performance cos of the physics...

256mb of ram is needed so that some levels can get loaded if under 256 some levels might be too big to be loaded

Heh, heh. I tried the demo again and it worked perfectly this time. It was a little jerky and the bottom of the screen was cut off (I couldn't see the energy man's feet), but I was able to finish the demo. I'll still add RAM when I can. Also, how do I find out how many mhz I have?

one thing i think everyone who plays games on PC should know his computer...

from the windows startmenu chose run an type

DXdiag

it should open up a program thingey...

from there you should find all system info you need... although mHz can be also found by choosing properties on "my computer"
