for sands of time, you don't need uber graphic card. my mobility radeon 9700 can handle it like a piece of cake.
warrior within is pretty much the same requirement. My laptop handles it like a piece of cheese.
The content of the games are very different actually. The fighting has been "souped" up. It has combos and such now, but because of combination button presses... it makes the control on the keyboard a little counter-intuitive as you have to reach for two keys that can be far apart. You can always reprogram the keys, but just trust me... I tried and it didn't feel very natural. (I gave up and went for the cube version, btw)
The game worlds are almost opposite. SOT has nice, bright, vibrant, and happy feel to the environment/atmosphere. In WW, the worlds are dark, gritty, and sinister look. The music in the second one also blows.... wayyyy too heavy on the heavy metal music.
EDIT: the prince in SOT gives you an impression of a noble man. One who will bust out his sword and slice off bad guys' heads w/out blinking while he will stop to give charity to the beggars.
The prince in WW is a desperate man. Almost portrayed as a scum who curses and have a VERY thugish look.
Expect very different in the second game.
