Hey, what requirements do we need to run Age of Empires 3 with 100% graphics and sound acceleration and very smooth game-play?

i runs pretty much in frames on my FX5200(128 mb) with 256 RAM at high settings..........
i'll say >512 RAM, 6600 gt will do fine

And I have smooth gameplay with my machine (check configuration in my signature) at 1024 X 768. I would say 6600 would do fine. As per their official site *www.microsoft.com/games/pc/age3.aspx, this is the system requirement:

* Microsoft® Windows® XP
* PC with 1.4 GHz equivalent or higher processor
* 256 MB of system RAM
* 2 GB available hard disk space
* 32x speed or faster CD-ROM drive
* 64 MB video card with support for hardware transformation and lighting required
* Sound card, speakers or headphones required for audio
* Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
* 56.6 Kbps or better modem for online play

Not fully sure, but this should be just fine:

AMD 64, at the very most @ 2.4
RAM: not sure whether 1GB or 2GB
GPU: Geforce 6800GT/GS will be fine for 10X7 without AA and maybe without AF as well
Believe me, I had a 6600GT with 1GB RAM, just doesn't cut it well.
