will it run on a celleron 847 processor at 1.10 GHz?
any other details you can provide? In particular graphics and RAM?
I can say right now looking STRICTLY at a processor requirement, you are BARELY squeaking by. The determining factor whether you can play or not is your graphics and RAM.
This is what I’m working with: Toshiba satellite c855-s5118.
Will this work with a AMD Athlon II X2 240 Processor?
It should.
Should work on Win 8 as Win 8 is built on the same kernel as Win 7 but failing that, grab a copy of VMWare player (free) install either Win XP or if you have enough system ram Win 7 then lob it on to there. Problem solved.
What about the Hard drive space?
Hard Drive: 10GB HD Space
What about Windows 8? Will it work on Windows 8?
We’ll know soon enough, but it should work with Windows 8.
