from the FAQ

Q. What platforms will be supported?
A. At this time, Sins of a Solar Empire will work on Windows XP and Windows Vista.


If it will run smoothly? depending on the drivers for your system, and the game is beta, so its not 100% optimized

It will probably run fine in Vista, preformance loss is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. At least for me it is. Most games are running at the same preformance level as winXP. By the time Sins is released I expect Vista preformance equal/superior to XP.

I'm still running a dual boot system but I havn't starded Xp in 2 weeks. I'm probably going to unistall xp within 2 months.

I've been running Sins on my Vista Ultimate laptop (dual-core CPU, 2GB RAM, GeForce 7900 GS 256MB video card) and it's been quite smooth. Surprisingly so given all of Nvidia's Vista driver issues.

Also have been playing Sins on my Vista laptop, which has similar specs to Yarlen's, only I'm running with an x1400 ATI card.  Good experience overall, only limiting factor is the video card currently.

I use my uber-ninja skillz to tame wild animals.

you buy any new computer and vista will be on it -_-. besides my high end laptop was only 1,500.

sorry wrong account AUGH I HATE THIS OLD COMP (lizardwatcher's)
Reply #19 from Sins Forums Top
1,500

you act like this is pocket change.
which it isn't. at least not for any non-millionare. (or people of eco-naivite)

It's not pocket change but it's not a fortune. I'd say it's a average amout of a good entertainment machine. Besides, 1,500 is incredibly cheap for a high end laptop.

Not to mention a good desktop PC is around 500-700

my 50" HD tv was 700 bucks. thats an investment.
but it's not a fortune

that comes out to be a good bit of a percentage of the average person's life savings. yes thats a big amount.

no, that would be a relatively powerful one.

wuuaaa.. it is?
and im thinking of buying one at the time when sins is released between 3000$-3500$ = 17.000-20.000 danish kroners.
And thats only for the PC, no screen, mouse or keyboard.
But ofcourse thats calculated by the prices i see today, might be a bit cheaper
