    I am purchasing a Dell Inspiron e1505 Duo Core and I was wondering if Medieval II: Total War will run on a Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic. I heard that it may not run on Vista and was worried... Can anyone let me know the truth?

    I am running it on my T60 (Core Duo 1.8ghz and x1400) and it works pretty well on Vista Business. With the new patches it runs alot better then before.

    We cannot tell him how it will run on an E1505 if we do not know the system specifications.

    Well exactly, we don't know if it will run on Windows Vista unless we have the system specifications.

    Obviously if he has a T2080, 512mb RAM, and a GMA 950 with Vista it wont run on Vista.
