I was wondering what the true lowest system requirements for a computer would be, meaning the C&C Renegade game wouldn't lag at all.

Mess with the best, die like the rest.

I use to run on an AMD 550mhz w/256mb RAM and it worked ok for me as long as the game wasn't too big. "Lag" meaning choppy game play for the purposes of my post mainly has to do w/your CPU speed. So you may be able to play multipler online 3v3 on a 350mhz just fine. I was able to get like 40/50FPS on small games (4v4-6v6) w/my 550mhz.

So my guess would be :
350mhz
64mb/128mb RAM
3d Graphics Card w/16 MB RAM.

The game would run ok in SMALL games only such as 1v1 to (maybe) 5v5. Anything over that u would be in a bad place.

My previous/current config is :
AMD 550mhz/(850mhz current)
TNT2 32mb RAM «- P.O.S. oooooold school graphics card.
256mb RAM «- "old" PC133 RAM

I currently get as low as 15-30FPS in big games (12v12 & up) and 40-60FPS in small games (7v7 and smaller).

I have a 1.6ghz AthlonXP (clocked at 1399)
GeForce2 with latest drivers
256meg of ram
Broadband connection
Direct X9.1 (i think)

i run renegade with all details on high, with a 640 x 480 (ish) resolution and i get a horrible frame rate and am usually the last to load up Sad

for example i was on conquest islands and had a stable 30fps while the 'gameplay pending' message was up.

Anyone get any suggestions? Sad

F**king hell, what did you do? Drop a box of nails into your PC?
For a start, you want to tell us what motherboard you have, as that could be the source of your problems, and your OS. In fact, pretty much copy what I posted above, but replace stuff with your own specs. Maybe it's something as simple as your AGP slot isnt set to AGP 4X in your bios.

[EDIT]
btw, I run the game at 1024x768

Operating system: Windows XP Home
Memory: 256mb
Processor: AMD AthlonXP 1600+ (clocked at 1399)
Motherboard:
Graphics Card: Geforce2 MX/MX 400
Hard Disk Drive: Maxtor 40gb 7200 rpm (i think)
Monitor: Relisys 17" Monitor (plug and play)
Mouse: Genius (has 2 buttons and a wheel, PS/2)
Modem: Alcatel (runs 576K downstream and 288K upstream)
ISP: BTBroadband

ill be right back with the other stuff once i check in the bios

Ok in the bios AGP is set at 4X
AGP Fastwrite is disabled
AGP Apeture size 128mb

im not sure where im supposed to look for the motherboard/chipset name short of taking the pc apart

AGP aperture size shouldn't be set above 128 on most systems. If you own a 3D accelerator, which most people do nowadays and it has more than 16MB On board memory then there is no need for a high AGP apature size. It's pretty false that you should set the AGP aperture size to half your ram because it's pointless, basically it controlls how much memory the AGP bus can have for texturing in PCI mode (Nvidia Vanta/LT used it). If your running 3D games then it's unlikly your gonna be using the system ram for texturing as it's handled by the cards video memory. Unless your running an old card (talking Nvidia Vanta/LT, Cirrus Logic, SIS etc.) that were the first cards to use the AGP bus and had similar features to their PCI family then you won't need to change the aperture size above 64.

I used to run it on my old 400mhz Compaq. It had a ATI Rage LT Pro 4 MB card and 64 MB of Sdram. It ran at 6 FPS. I played like that for about 8 months. Then finally I got my new rig.

i run on:
celeron 1.4ghz
1024mb ddram
radion 9700
scsi 18gb 12k rpm

and i get around 85fps steady at 1024x768x32 with 85hz refresh rate. It drops sometimes, but for the most part its always nice and high. when i host (some people know i can host good, i hosted a few stunt park games for 127 people) i get 85sfps. here is the odd thing...if i set my settings to 800x600x32 and everything enabled my fps drops to aroun 25-30. so my card processes graphics better at high resolution? i did a win benchmark and got 14000 on 1024x768 and 9000 on 800x600. i think its pretty odd, but i have no problems with renegade.
