Minimum specs

Well why are you getting worked up? That's what everyone has been saying. Being close to all the specs is important, but having enough memory is more so.

However, in your first post in this thread
you say the game will not work at all if under the min CPU specs.

I've played EUII on a 200Mhz/128mb/8mb video card and it ran fine, in MP I might add.

One important point is to turn off sounds if a game runs sluggishly. I tried HOI with sound and without sound in my Pentium III 450 Mhz with 128 Mbs memory. With sound it is a bit sluggish but if I disable sounds then it runs nicely. Your computer is one issue and the settings for the game is another issue.

Yep, memory is the key.

Especially if there is an unknown memory leak in the game.

Not sure how you disable all sounds but turning off music is a great help if it uses MP3s like HoI. Decoding MP3s is a major CPU drain on slow CPUs.

I disable them from HOI_Settings. A game like HOI doesn´t necessary need a great music if it slows down the game significantly. I agree, playing MP3 music needs too much resources if you use slower computers.
