V. Memory and Performance
--------------------------------------------
Worms 4 Mayhem demo requires at least 256MB of RAM and a 1Ghz processor;

maximise your available memory and increase the overall performance of the
game by doing the following:
- Shut down all non-essential Windows programs especially online
chat programs, virus checkers and screen layout utilities.
- Regularly defragment your hard drive.
- Increase your amount of free hard drive space

--------------------------------------------
GRAPHICS CARDS
Worms 4 Mayhem demo requires a graphics card with 3D hardware acceleration
and at least 64 MB of RAM. The drivers for your graphic card must support
DirectX 9 or higher. If you are having any problems running the game,
please ensure you have updated your graphic card drivers before contacting
technical support.
SOUND CARDS
If you are experiencing sound abnormalities such as clicking and popping,
you may need to turn off sound hardware acceleration. Go to Start, Control
Panel, Sound, then find the sound/audio hardware acceleration setting and
turn it off.
Occasionally, some users may experience poor audio quality when using an
onboard nForce sound card in conjunction with certain graphics cards.
Please update your nForce drivers and if the problem persists, switch over
to the on-board graphics card.

the users PC doesn't have a sound card or if it is not working
