I am thinking of upgrading towards BDBPro, however I have not been able to find details for the min spec.

I have:
Intel Pentium III proceser 600MHz
512KB level 2 cache
256MB SDRAM
133MHz front side bus
ATI rage 128 agp graphics - 16mb video memory
Window 98 second edition
Direct x 8.0
at least 10GB free space (and that is only on the first hard drive)

It was bought roughly around the year 2000

Will this run DBPro?

Thanks

What about Patch 4.1? Would that affect the min specs, as I know that patch 4.1 does alter a serious chunk of DBPro?


Thanks so far

It should run better for all machines now because of what Lee/Mike did for patch 4.1
