Original v Platinum edition warning

Everybody in the world might already know this, but if not be warned. As the owner of the original NWN game which required

Pentium II 3ooMHz, 96 mb of RAM and a video card of 16MB minimum specifications

The game played reasonably well on my old clunky machine. So the other day when I finally got round to buying the platinum edition with SoU and HoU I never bothered to check the system requirements on the box, after all it would be the same game of course

After loading the game and finding it running like a dog (a dead one) I checked the game specs on the new box

Pentium 4 1.3 Ghz or higher, 512 mb RAM for XP, 64mb video card with hardware T&L support (whatever that is) is now recommended

So now I have to wait 4 months before I can get my new computer to be able to play the game ... sigh!
