I have AMD Turion64 X2
I didn't see that on the requirements, so probably wont do??
If so, are there any other options for me?

Hey there,

Turion cpus are usually fitted on laptops, is that what u have? If so please post complete specs to see if u might be able to play. Graphic card is the most important.

hmm, that nvidia chip is going to set you back big time. If it was a 8400GT I would say yes, but the 8400 GS is not really a gaming card. Are you running on a laptop? If its a desktop, you will need to upgrade that card to get good gaming performance...you already have a quad core in your favor.

Im on desktop. I do know my card is the weakest link. Hoping that change at christmas. I been stuck with this card for a few years now.

I know I can run the game but don't know if I could run higher then the lowest settings.

20 GB?!
That's so fucking much...
and I thought that GTA IV used a lot of space...

I have a pre-unibody White macbook with an NTFS partition running xp pro sp3.
T7500 C2Duo 2.2ghz 800mhz FSB 4mb L3 Cache
4g ram
X3100 graphics

I Can run and play DA:Origins but it is very slow. I am looking to maximize my performance and minimize game graphics. I would like to know how to set up my Mobile Intel GMA and what settings to run DA:O at. Specifics please because I want to make sure the game will run at its fastest (despite being really slow) because it is an awesome game.

I thank everyone and anyone with any advice because I understand how low end the system is and how demanding the game is. I will buy another computer later on that will be much better suited for this but have started playing the game and can't stop!

hey there, at what resolution are you playing Dragon Age? Lowest Resolution possible?

I am actually rather shocked it even runs on the white unibody MacBook!

That is encouraging news, waiting on your response to go forward

[Jay]

well, before you even respond. what do you have running in the background? I am assuming that you are booting into Windows XP natively. Are you comfortable with editing the startup items?
