Your machine specs barely match the game's system requirements: http://www.quandaryland.com/jsp/dispArticle.jsp?index=722 Game+wine will be unplayable (if if works at all) because the machine will be swaptastic. Your only choice is Windows. Note that the game also requires 300MB of HD space which is a big chunk of 4GB. -M _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.cwelug.org/ http://www.cwelug.org/archives/ http://www.cwelug.org/mailinglist/
