My computer specs are:

Proc. Speed = 2.8 GHZ (AMD 2800+)
RAM = 1024 MB, DDR
Graphics card = Geforce 6600 GT 128 MB

I can run DoW w/ the graphic setting all the way on high when playing against the computer (offline). It looks & runs GREAT!

I haven't really delved into online play too much so far. A few 1v1 & 2v2 games. I'm concerned about my computer slowing down if I play larger battles w/ 6 or more people. I'm worried that even though my game runs flawlessly now, it may slow down with many teams on the board.

Should I continue to play online games with my settings all the way up? Is what's ok for a few armies not ok for 8 armies? Or, if the game is running great now, it will run great with a large scale battle occuring on the screen?

I just don't want to get into a large scale battle and be the reason everyone's lagging. Thanks in advance for any help.

That rig should be able to handle the large scale battles without too much slowdown, if you want to test it start an 8 way quickstart skirmish with 7 insane AI ork players and when you get wiped out click to continue watching.

Sounds like a fun way to test the hardware too. Should be a green wave armaggedon! :matrix:
