    Question Will this machine run Company of Heroes

    For a mate at work who is upgrading his pc for his Brother.

    Current spec :

    Vista Home Premium

    Core 2 4300 1.8Ghz
    1Gb Ram

    He's considering buying a new PSU and an 8800GT 512 because his Bro is hooked on Company of Heroes and the machine has poor standard video.

    The question is will the above machine run Company of Heroes with an 8800 ? A memory upgrade is also on the cards.

    Anyone with a similar spec and experience of COH your imput would be appreciated.

    Re: Will this machine run Company of Heroes

    Yeah 8800GT will run COH no problem. You'll want at least 2GB ram though(especially with vista) and DDR2 is incredably cheap at the moment so there's no reason not to get more RAM.

    It may also be worth taking a look at overclocking, depending on experience, warranties, motherboard etc, but that E4300 should have no problem doing 2.4(a nice jump in 'real world' performance) on stock cooling and over 3.0(more than enough for just about anything) with a decent aftermarket cooler.

    Ye I Played Company of Heroes on a old Pentium D with a 8500gt with no problems. The E4300 and 8800gt should play the game perfectly.

    But like chuckskull said it wouldnt hurt to overclock it.

    Handy website for checking whether you can run certain titles or not :

    Used it a few times and it does come in handy, list of games is getting bigger all the time

    CoH performed decently on my old P4 2.8, 9800 Pro/X1600 with 1gb ram, so you should have no problems

    Bumping the ram up to 2gb would make a massive difference though, especially considering how cheap it is at the moment.
