Note: The game requires support for Hardware T&L. Hardware transform and lighting lets the 3D chip do the power hungry floating point calculations that make a scene out of a 3D world (‚transforming‘), remove the objects that are outside of the viewing range (‚clipping‘) and give each vertex a light vector after computing the 3D-scene and its light sources (‚lighting‘.) Most integrated video chips do not support Hardware T&L. Note: Some PCs equipped with the VIA KT133a chipset might encounter problems with Command & Conquer Generals. Additionally, the following specifications are required for multiplayer: * 256 MB RAM for 3-8 players * One set of game discs per player. Disc 1 and Disc 2 cannot be used simultaneously for multiplayer games. * Internet (2-4 players): 56Kbpsor faster direct Internet connection * Internet (5-8 players): Cable, DSL,or a faster direct Internet connection * Network (2-8 players):TCP/IP compliant network
