Wing commander 4 will feture 16bit color in the movie sequences 
that makes it look like a movie in picture quality. The sound 
is MUCH better than wing 3 and eany other game for that 
matter.I know wing 3 also had 16 bit sound but the sound and 
music quality is so much better now. On a sound blaster 16 at 
least. The game supports all known popular sound cards. One 
very crutial improvement is the mission load times. No, at 
least in the demo version a mission loads within 10 seconds! 
Not the 30 second or more wait in wing 3, plus no pauses in 
combat. Don't play this game with less than 16mb of ram. It's 
difficult. origin now lists a Dx4 100 as the minimum 
reccomended system, andthats for vga. For svga a pentium is 
highly reccomended. Something like a 90 or 100!
