Please take into consideration those with small processors, smaller modem
speeds, and lesser hard drive space. It's nice to have the ability to use
and utilize new features, but we must not forget those that it might put a
hardship on. I know of one other person in AW that has the problem I do in
regards to mobility in highly animated areas. I wonder if there is anyone
else that has these problems. I love new features, newer, better, versions
of the software, but I have to be realistic about trying to make due with
the equipment that brings it to my monitor. I'm willing to make some
sacrifices, but not to the point where it hinders me from enjoying AW.

LOD and portal rendering would help but you're asking for problems if you try to use AW on a 233MHz CPU with a crappy video card that doesn't support DirectX 8.1...

No offense but that computer is ancient....

Computers do get obsolete fast and yes it can be a problem if you cant
afford to get one every few years. I mean theyre just hitting 3ghz computers
i believe (or awfully darn close). I personally don't think that people who
fail to keep up with the times should keep back the improvement on something
to get better, which usuaully means older computers won't be able to run it.
If we did everyone would still be using 2.2

Your 233MHz system isn't even close to decent anymore.

Only if you have an ancient system.

Then why don't you upgrade your system, if your current one hinders you from enjoying AW?
