How high of a spec PC do you need to run the 'Ultra' Version

Dave From The Cave · Guest

I've have an AMD Athlon 2000+ with 512Mb 2100DDR, NVidia FX5900XT 128Mb and a Soundblaster Live 5.1 Platinum. All of which have the latest drivers installed. (Also DirectX9) Firstly i get no sound. secondly even with a setting of 800x600 pixels 16 bit colour and 6 fish I get less than 2 frames per second. compare this to the Serene Screen Fish Tank where I can run this at 1152x864 32 bit colour and get 120 frames per second.
Any ideas?

Hmmm... very strange. You should have no problem running the Ultra version with those specs...

Maybe try re-installing?

Can you run the regular version at a decent speed at least?

Maybe send my your DirectX diagnotics (Start -> run, dxdiag) so I can see all your hardware specs in gory detail?

Wouldn't it be a good idea to give prospective downloaders a hint about what is considered a computer capable of the "Ultra" version?

I'm a little unsure about what a "newer, high end computer" is. One could believe that you'd need a 3.0GHz+ CPU and a 6800GT/X800 vid card.

Of course there's a multitude of different combinations, but some hint would be a nice addition.
