Does anyone know if C&C generals is CPU limited or graphics card limited?

I just upgraded my processor and it doesnt seem to run the game any better
or at higher resolutions

Thanks people

I can only tell you that my PIII 1GB machine can run this game smoothly
after installed a 3D graphic (this machine was unable to play this game
before!)

I think RAM is more important than the clock speed.

Me Too, I'm running WinXP so I'm able to the the mem usage.  The .EXE takes
several hundred megs of memory.

Looks like you forgot to upgrade your videocard. This is the single most
important upgrade if you are playing a graphic intensive game. Meaning the
max ram & processor power won't do anything if information is sitting in the
queue waiting for the Vid to process them.
