    I was thinking of getting Vice City but I was wondering if I'd need a high spec comp to run it on. I don't have one btw so I was wondering if i should just nost waste my time.

    I would like to hear from people who have Vice City, what is the absolute slowest system it'll work on? I know they recommend 800Mhz, but GTA3 plays great on my 550Mhz PIII at 1024 x 768 with 32bit color. So I'm hoping I can at least run Vice City if I use a lower resolution. Or is it one of those games that won't even start if you don't meet the minimum requirements (like BF 1942)? I'd like to know before I download it.

    800Mhz is a good minimum if you would go lower the game isn't fun anymore
