cool, it'll work on my athlon 950 then

[Col.J.P.]

If you have a Geforce FX6800 Ultra 256 MB with that one you'll be ok...

Sort of...

This might be a stupid question, but do you think my PC will run this game with 1.8 GHz processor? I'm not too knowledgable when it comes to computers or how they work, But I meet every other requirement except the processor.

I wanna know how much longer I can put off trashing this dinosaur I'm on now.

[Col.J.P.]

And your graphic card?

Find that one out, its the most important.

[Pawello]

Can I play Q4 when I've processor without SSE? Is it some path which make it possible?

A question reguarding SSE that Pawello also just touched on:
I dont understand why Doom 3 managed to work without SSE, but Quake 4, which im led to believe is based on the Doom 3 engine, doesn't work.
Are there any workarounds, patches (current or planned), cvar's, or anything else to get around this problem?
Just in case you need to know, my specs are:
AMD Athlon 1.4GHz
512MB Ram,
GeForce 3.

Looking forward to an answer to this. Thanks.
