I played all the way through the single player campaign on normal mode in preparation
for this review. My system at home is a 3800+ AMD Athlon 64 CPU, 1GB of Crucial
Ballistix DDR memory, a nForce4 Ultra motherboard from ECS, a XFX 7800GTX video
card running the latest 81.85 Forceware drivers, and 2 120GB Seagate Barracuda
V SATA drives, more than meeting the minimum system requirements. I noticed
no slowdowns playing the game even when many units cluttered up the screen in
battles involving hundreds of units. I set the resolution to 1280x1024 32-bit.
