Theoretically, no, but we all know how evil computers are. ;)

Other than the typical evils of computers, though, your system should be able to handle the games easily enough, I should think.

no problem at all.

this should probably be in the tech support forum. caveat: it may be moved.

You might want to consider upping the memory on the system, although BG will run fine with 128. If you machine is using RDRAM, it must be used in pairs. Do you know if your machine has to 64MB chips or one 128MB chip and one null chip?

And computers aren't evil, people are.

LOL! @ Ned :D well I ran this game absolutely fine on an ancient machine with a 233 processor, 32Mb SDRam and an 8meg graphics card ;) You should have no problem ;) SoA I also ran on the same machine, though by ToB I had upgraded to your spec :)
