It's nice to hear that it works with 512 MB RAM as well, but you'll probably have difficulties to open the large TechDemo map. ;-)

If you can run Cafu, you also have OpenGL installed already - under Windows, the OpenGL implementations come with the graphics drivers, so you're likely set and done regarding OpenGL. :-)
OpenGL developer files (headers and link libraries) ship with the platform SDK, which is usually installed with the (Visual Studio) compilers.
Yeah I pretty much figured out the opengl, but Im having problems as you can see with the source code, I checked it out with svn under command prompt, it finished (after a long process) do i have to check out another file with SVN? :?
At first I thought the problem I had, was due to opengl, but Now ik it isnt, Cant run application files such as modelviewer, terrainveiwer, and other CAtools. :?:

Because the libraries are in the main folder... I had the same problem the first time that was the solution.
While that is a correct solution, let me mention another one (the one I usually and preferably use):
You can also run the binaries from the topmost directory directly, just specify their path. This is explained at point 3. of section Running the new Programs in greater detail. ;-)

Well, I'm a bit unsure about what you want to achieve in the first place:
If you want to get started with the binaries, you should be able to use those that come with the r210 binary release package.
If you want to compile the source code, which of the steps at Getting Started with the Cafu Source Code are you having trouble with?

Are the caTools needed to make the game? or just add-ons, Im assuming they are addons. If they arent needed then, Im fine.

You normally don't need them:
Those that you need are automatically run by the map editor CaWE for you.

(This is explained in the Your First Map tutorial (recommended!), and in greater detail in the Compiling Maps for Cafu documentation.)

I have very low FPS (Arroun 15-25) when I play Tech Demo Map with my PC 2.8GHZ Intel Celeron 2GB of Ram and 256 Video Card Nvidia Geforce 7050. Even in my own map I have 5 to 10FPS

no, just I said the requeriments are a little realtive. I heard about people has 60FPS with 512 MB of ram... others with 1.5GHZ of CPU, others with 128MB GPU.

Now I have my computer upgraded with 2.33GHZ(per core) Intel core 2 duo, 2GB of RAM, 1GB of video (nvidia gt220c) and the engine now runs 80FPS in the Tech Demo
