Dominions II system requirements?
 
I'm eager to get my hands on dominions II, but there is still one question that keeps me from preordering it.
What are the system requirements for the game?
I've tried to browse your site, but have been unable to find an answer.
To make a long question short, is my imac 333 mhz with mac os x able to run it?

Dominions II has not been tested on a mac that old.

However I believe that your mac has some kind of accelerated OpenGL which is the most important thing. My guess is that you can run it, but with poor graphics settings.

I would recommend trying out the demo when it is available.

To answer the actual question:
Dominions I worked on 385 computers. Not 385Mhz, but 385 computers.
I believe that Dom II runs fine on 333Mhz computers because it runs on 233Mhz computers. I think it was JK who has that 233Mhz computer.

EDIT:JK answered your question.
I believe it works "fine" on my 333Mhz PII with Riva TNT 2(got this as a birthday gift year ago) however.

I don't play games much, and for "useful stuff" my computer works just fine.
In fact, I have a collection of five macs on my table, from the ancient mac plus to this one. I guess the G5 would be the next logical step to take. Shame I missed the fourth generation of apple computers though.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It is true that the game runs nicely on my old PII 233 mHz computer. But it also has a very modern (for a 233 mHz machine) graphics card, a geforce 2mx. And a decent OpenGL compatible graphics card is the most imortant thing when running Dominions II on a crappy computer.
