4. Machine Requirements & Tips
------------------------------
Ascendancy requires a 486-33 or better CPU with at least 8 megabytes of
RAM. Approximately 12 megabytes of harddrive space are required for the
demonstration version (about 15 for the full game). Your video card must
support SVGA 640x480 with 256 colors, and must be VESA compatible. Your
CDROM drive should be at least double-speed.
*Note: Ascendancy has been successfully tested on slower systems, including
slower 386 systems, but users may experience problems with digital music
and graphics speed on these slower machines..
If you need to free more memory to run Ascendancy, ensure that SMARTDRV.EXE
is not using more than 2 megs of memory, or disable it entirely (at your
discretion).
