    A pretty old Toshiba laptop with a Nvidia Go 7900GS graphics chip, Win7 RC1, 1.7Ghz DualCore, 2GB of RAM.

    I'm playing at 1680x1050, quality 1. Although it has to be said that I
    1. Am more interested in smooth motion (40fps or more) than in graphical effects.
    2. Am playing on a stereo monitor, so my system is actually rendering twice the number of frames: One for the each eye.

    I have currently been playing it on an Athlon64 X2 3800+ (OC'ed to 2.8Ghz though) with an nvidia 9800GT at 1680x1050. This is all under Linux as well through Wine, and it plays beautifully.

    I also tried it on my laptop which has a Turion X2 ZM-82 CPU (2.2Ghz) with an ATI Readon 3850 GPU. That was played on Vista with 1680x1050 resolution and all of the anti-aliasing settings turned up. It played just as fine on that one as well.

    Both machines had the quality turned up all of the way in the game settings.

    The game isn't very demanding (as far as I can tell) so you should be able to play it on half way decent hardware. They do some fancier things such as field of depth (fuzzy edges on close up/far away objects) so that will make it take a little more power than Sam & Max though for example.

    Well my pc:
    -DualCore 2140
    -1g of ram
    -NVDIA 6200 (256m)
    -Windows XP (SP2)

    Old but it runs the game without problem.

    I play it on a 1024x768 resolution and at graphic level 4. Over than 4 there are some issues with the lip-sinc and the voices (they start following different ways at that point) so i stick at 4.

    - Quad Core Q9650 @ 3.0GHz
    - ATI Radeon HD 4870x2 (2GB RAM)
    - 8GB RAM
    - Vista Home Premium 64-bit

    I have the graphics settings cranked all the way up and run at the max resolution for my monitor (1440x900), and my system doesn't even break a sweat.

    I should download it onto my old laptop (P4 @ 3Ghz, ATI Mobility Radeon X600, 2GB RAM, Windows XP) and see how it runs there. My guess is not so well. ;)

    Phenom X4 9450 with DDR2 and a GeForce 8800GT running Kubuntu Linux 9.10. I run Tales inside VMWare with a WinXP 1GB RAM, dual core guest. Game runs at 1440x900. Works like a charm since VMWare Workstation 6.5.3.

    I have Vista as a boot alternative but why reboot if you don't have too...

    AMD Athlon 64X2 4400+ 2.3 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 896MB Geforce GTX275 OC edition, and Windows Vista Home Premium is my main system.

    I sometimes play stuff on my laptop which has an AMD Turion 64X2 2.2 Ghz, 3 GB RAM, Geforce 8200M, and also Vista Home Premium.

    Both will be getting Windows 7 once it's out, however.

    I couldn't get it to run under wine, I just get a blank white screen. Are there any tricks to it? (Maybe I need a more recent Wine).

    I think mine has an athlon64 x2 3600+, radeon 3870 and 4gb ram with windows 7 64-bit beta (on a 2tb hdd ;)). I built it like two years ago and added stuff along the way, so I'm not 100% sure about the cpu, it might be better. Anyways, I just got a 21,5" monitor and tried to play the game on 1920x1080 resolution (all other settings maxed out, of course). The game worked without a glitch, except for the menu, which was rather choppy on that resolution :confused:

    Intel Core i7 950 o/c @ 4 GHz
    nVidia GTX 295 core clock, memory clock and shader clock set to GTX 280 specs (each card)
    6GB DDR3 2000 MHz Ram

    1920x1080
    Highest Quality
    16x Anthriscopic filtering and 16xQ Anti Aliasing forced through nHancer
    ToMI is capped at 60fps so that's what I get

    I think the trick is that you need to copy some windows directx dll's. You also may need to install IE in your Wine.
    Googeling "telltale games in Wine" or "Tales of Monkey Island in Wine" should get you to specific info.

    I myself am happy with my VMWare solution so I didn't bother with this personally.

    My specs:
    Video Card: ATi RAEDON 4890
    CPU: Intel core i7 2.7
    RAM: 3 giga
    Soundcard is built-in my motherboard
    Two Western Digital HDDs SATA, I dunno which model though
    Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1 (And I also got WinXP installed to run some old games)


    My monitor is PHILIPS and I run all my games at the maximum resolution 1440x900

    And I run Tales of Monkey Island from STEAM and I use all highest graphical settings. Runs smooth and fast on my PC and so far I didn't face any technical issue or glitch on both episodes.

    AMD Athlon X2 4200+
    4GB RAM But on Vista 32-bit I can only use 3.5GB of it.
    nVidia GeForce 7800GS 512MB

    Totally old stuff. But I can run the game on max setting 9 as long as it's in a low res (like 1280x768 or something like that). If I try to run it at 1920x1200 (which is my monitor's native res, it can work for a while but then it crashes randomly).

    For Wallace and Gromit, I can't do that because it crashed all the time at graphics settings above 3.

    But when I get the settings to an adequate level, the game runs smoothly and looks relatively nice. It would be better if I could max out the settings but I suppose I need to upgrade to a better PC.

    I have a cheap system, but fairly current and solid for gaming. I'd rather spend $500 every couple of years than try to spend $1500 and drag the system out for longer than it's viable.

    Runs perfectly on 9.

    Running it on 9 on an oldish modified Fujitsu Siemens laptop:

    Core2Duo @ 2ghz
    2 GB RAM
    Geforce 8600M GT

    Unfortunately, I can't go higher than 1280x720 without killing the framerate (hooked up to a full HDTV). Looking forward to a new desktop and cranking up the resolution.

    Built the computer myself a couple of years ago for around £600 and it's still going strong. Would have probably cost double that if I bought similar in a store.
