wow I can't believe that nice of a card is that cheap. It will be able to run SRO decently but make sure nothing else processor intensive is running in the background cuz of your kinda slow processor. Also, you probably won't be able to run it too well at 1024x768 with high settings at all but you should be able to crank them up to something that looks half decent in 800x600.

ok card on low end of directx9 compitable ati cards. System overall will run the game ok but as mentioned don't expect anything aover 1024x768 to run too well. When you install the game for sure turn off shadow's cause that will kill your processor/gpu when u enter town. Idk if they still sell the 9500pros but that is really lowest directx 9 i'd recommend for semi gamming if you going ati route.

What ever you don't shell out for high end directx9 cards yet since directx10 on vista is on horizon.

Up until 3 weeks ago I was using a 9250 for SRO with absolutely no problems. Had all the graphics sent on default. No issues what so ever!!

(Sempron 3000+ o/clk @2Ghz;1Gb PC2700 RAM)

.....and then patch 066 came :banghead:

Still the graphics look good when the constant lagging freezes the screen.
Lots of opportunites for nice screen captures
