Don't worry, it ran fine on my 16meg voodoo3. Just don't push the resolution too high or it won't start up and you need to edit the registry to fix it.
You'll be fine until there are 20+ guys on screen.

Since Bobaroo and I usually play 2v2/3v3s, that could be a problem

Hehe, I play the beta on a 4mb card. The resolution is 640x480 and all settings on low.

I don't have a 32 MB videocard. Looks like more choppiness for me when the game is released

I'm not too sure about this but I think Reqs are lower for the Beta than for the final release; so even if you can run the Beta, you may need an upgrade or two to play the final release.

I'm pretty sure the specs for the beta are the same specs as the full version. The only thing they might do is up the recommended specs because so many people complain about video lag.



Posted by: Bobaroo

For the Beta you needed atleast 600mhz, 64mb Video Card and 128mb of RAM.

When you signed up for the beta they told you that the requirements would be turned down for the final release.

Your most important system spec with Warcraft 3 is RAM. 400-600 mhz processor will be fine. 8 Mb video will be fine.

But you need that RAM. 128 is horrible. 256 is absolutely necessary. 512 would be my recommendation.

Tell that to my Voodoo3 3000 PCI with 16MB SDRAM that goes in 1024 just fine in WC3 beta.
