The official FAQ says:
Q. What will be the recommended system requirements to play the game?
A. Unreal II will look stunning on high-end systems, but you should be able to play the game just fine on a P2/450 with a first generation GeForce card.
Legend's Mike Verdu stated in this Q&A on Unreality, published on August 23, 2001:
Q: What are the system requirements looking like at this point?
A: Right now we're developing a game that will be playable on a PIII-500 with any hardware accelerator card that supports T&L (e.g. GeForce I, 2, 3, ATI Radeon, etc.). The game will look fantastic on a high end system, but should be playable on a good mid-range machine. We are still evaluating how to support lower end systems with TNT2 and Voodoo3/4 class cards... Infogrames will make a final determination later this year.
However, Confucius says: "Never believe the official minimum requirements as stated on the box!"If I were you I wouldn't even try running U2 on a P3-500, unless you're satisfied with a framerate of less than 20. This is just my personal opinion, but I expect the minimum system to run U2 at a decent framerate (>30) at a decent resolution (800x600) to be at least a 1GHz CPU with 256 MB RAM and a GeForce2 or equal video card. Anything less will be frustrating.

So my P3 1000mhz with a GeForce2 MX-400 64mb vid card should be fine? 512mb ram!!

Sounds like you might need to upgrade....I hear that the new P4 2.2 ghz is out!

Nah the Athlon 2.2 is faster(not hetrz wise but the Athlon is just faster)![]()

And so is the P4...... The question is what kind of processing needs to be done, as each chip is faster than the other in different tasks and environments, plus, lets not forget the 800 mhz rambus ram for the Intel P4 mobo chipset.![]()

And how much does this P4 cost?

I thought we we're talking about the best performance for Unreal II not the best bang for the buck, but yeah, the Athlon's are by far the best bang for the buck, unless your also doing mission critical processing.

U were talking about that I'm prolly gonna get that Athlon but do u how much that P4 costs?
