  Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour is a strategic simulation video game that can be played on your personal computer (PC). Electronic Arts published this game is 2003, and in it the player takes command of an army fighting in a war against other factions. The player wins by defeating the other army. As with any computer game, your PC must meet certain system requirements to be able to run the game. Because Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour is an older game, the system requirements for it are usually satisfied by most modern computers.
  
  

Storage Space

• Installing Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour on your computer will require 1400 megabytes (MB) of available space on your hard drive; 1400 MB is equal to 1.4 gigabytes (GB). As of 2010, most basic PCs have hard drives with storage space ranging from 200 to 700 GB, so installing the game on one of them should not cause an issue regarding the amount of data that needs to be stored.
  
  

Processing Speed

• Your PC contains a processor that dictates how fast applications can run. Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour requires that a computer's processor be at least the equivalent of an 800 megahertz (MHz) Pentium III to run the game; the game's manufacturer suggests a processor equivalent to a 1.8 gigahertz (GHz) Pentium IV to run the game optimally. As of 2010, basic dual and quad core processing technologies that come inside of most computers easily meet these requirements. Even a 1.5 GHz dual core processor will run the game better than a 1.8 single core processor because it can dedicate an entire core to the game.
  
  

Memory

• The manufacturer of Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour states that a computer must have at least 128 MB of random access memory (RAM) and 32 MB of video memory to run the game. Video memory is dedicated solely to running video processes and is usually obtained by inserting a dedicated video card into your PC. For optimal performance, the manufacturer suggests at least 256 MB of RAM. As of 2010, most PCs come with at least 1 to 2 GB of RAM and thus will easily fulfill the memory requirement. Such an abundance of RAM should be an adequate substitute for dedicated video memory, but a video card always helps computer games perform better.
