    Yea see it doesn't like my cpu but it says

    CPU Speed
    Minimum: 1.8 GHz
    You Have: 3.40 GHz -- FAIL

    Not sure a 1.8 duel core can out do my 3.6 can it ? Like I am wondering if the game detects and refuses to install if the min is not met.

    You Might be able tor un it, but on low settings. That GPU you have just doesnt have the bandwidth or memory for this game.

    In regards to your CPU, its well under the minimum settings, but a handful of players have had some luck at runnining STO on bare minimum graphics.

    You definitely will be able to play it on that if I can play it on my acer ferrari one netbook.

    Seriously, no ****

    I have it all low/off exept:

    reflections low (instead of off)
    bloom on
    1366x768
    shadows low
    and that texture processing one, x2

    It looks fine cos it's on a small screen (11.6")

    I have 3gig ram aswell.

    I have a p4 3.6 single core, ati hd4850 with 3gb ram and windows xp pro.

    I can run the game on hi res in space without any problems. On ground I tend to run it on one notch above low, but then put lighting to high and put distance to 100% Since I am playing native res 1920x1200 widescreen lcd, the lack of AA doesn't bother me too much. I can turn it up to 2X AA though and it looks even better and performance is still pretty good.

    The only issue I am seeing is load times seem to be affected by where I have the res slider. If it is set to max while playing in space, I must adjust it down prior to zoning, or it could be a long wait. Also UI lag is annoying, but maybe I am just used to zipper more responsive UI of other mmos.

    You will be able to run it reasonbly well I would have thought, definately on low at least.

    My setup:

    3.4 Pentium 4
    2GB Ram
    Radeon 3850
    Some 80gig 5200rpm HD

    I have played around endlessly with the settings to get a balance between graphics and fps and think ive got it just right, I run it at 1680x1050 at around 20fps average. Here is a screenshot with my settings. Visually the difference between these settings and the highest isn't in fact a huge amount!
