Minimum Specs for Blitz Max

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Minimum Specs for Blitz Max

Just tried it on my work's PC:

Win XP SP2
Direct X 9.0c
Celeron 2.66 GHz
1GB RAM
On board graphics (SiS 661FX)

On my game menu screen (a BG image plus a few menu options) it runs at 21FPS in both DX and Open GL. That is pretty poor - I would have expected it to run better in DX, especially from what others have said here.

I think the only conclusion is that a 3D graphics card is a must.

However, just re-read Dreamora post about windowed mode. It is running in windowed mode, maybe that's the prob? I haven't got Max installed here so will have to do a full screen version at home and test it again next week when I am back in the office.
