I wish game developers would realize that not everyone has a state of the art computers with all the bells and whistles and can afford to do so. My computer has a 1.8 processor which has been able to play all the new recent games with no problem. How does a 2d cartoon graphics game come off needing a 3 gig processor to play it? Guess as muchas I liked the MI games I'll have to skip this one. Was looking forward to it also.
Regards,
Barry I have found in other message boards that this requirement is for HD 1080 resolution. If you want to select 1920x1080 video resolution you would need at least 3GHz P4. I don't play in 1080 so I don't care.

Thanks Pirate_Hunter. So the downside of allowing the gamer to adjust the video resolution is that the developer has to list system requirements for the highest resolution, even though most gamers won't play it at that resolution?
Sheesh.
I'm playing at 1024 X 768 and the game looks great.

From what I read on the game forum (mght be Steam forum) the game won't even start after install with older processors (I have an athalon 1.8). So I guess I'm out of luck as well as everyone else who doesn't have at least 2.8 like you Becky. Someone on the forum said they had a 2.0 and it wouldn't run. So save your money gang if you don't meet the specs.
Regards,
Barry

I'm playing at 1024 X 768 and the game looks great. They advertised this special edition as 1080 HD game. Other developers list minimum specs for minimum supported video resolution. Sometimes you can get around spec issues by installing the direct x SDK its rather large to download but it made me able to play football manager 2009 on my bros old 1.6ghz amd x1900+ comp as before i installed dx sdk it wouldnt play. That wouldn't help but in case someone needs it, Monkey Island SE will install DirectX folder within game directory. It is 100MB large and includes entire DX 9.0c with all monthly updates until today. I copied entire folder on my backup drive in case other games require some missing component.
