Hey I am seriously considering to buy a new Gaming PC & FM always seems to be at the top of the list of games that I want to play. I have been surveying alot and have came up with this.. Specs : * Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.40Ghz, 8MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB) * GIGABYTE X28 - DS5 (Intel X38) * PALIT 9600GT 512mb DDR3 Graphic * 2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR800, LAN It's at a pretty reasonable price but honestly I don't really know much about computers. So to anyone who actually has a computer that plays FM perfectly please post your computer specs. P.S. And by perfectly I mean that it loads almost instantly and the processing is fast. | | | | 01-05-08, 05:51 PM | #2 (permalink) | | Backup To The First Team Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Glasgow Posts: 154 Thanks: 27 Thanked 3 Times in 3 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | I have a PC which has Dual Core (2.33Ghz) and 2Gb RAM and my FM runs like a dream and processing is almost instant, so i would imagine the PC you plan to get would have no problem running it. | | | | | 01-05-08, 05:53 PM | #3 (permalink) | | Used In Squad Rotation Join Date: Feb 2008 Posts: 405 Thanks: 35 Thanked 28 Times in 24 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | it the game is running very well at my computer(1,5ghz,512ram)then at yours surely will run very fast | | | | 01-05-08, 06:10 PM | #4 (permalink) | | Decent Youngster Join Date: Nov 2007 Posts: 16 Thanks: 0 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | Mine is the same as above. You can buy computers specifically to running games like this. You could try finding a custom build place. | | | | | 01-05-08, 08:10 PM | #5 (permalink) | | What Spanish does with a football, I can do with an orange.

Dual Core is already amazingly fast and that processor is using 2 cores (processors). Quad Core is using 4 (!!!). Together with 2GB DDRII RAM, it should run like a ferrari. DDRII is really cheap so you could always buy 1 or 2 GB more (2GB for 25/35 pounds or something like that). Graphical card isn't that important for FM, processor and memory are the most important and those are immense! | Become a FMF Donator and enjoy the many extras!

Thanks for the feedbacks people! | i'm not talking about upgrading u'r old computer but what i said is to add some more RAM on spec that u'r given in here..just like Bozza said..my advise,better u use Vista for new computer where there are lot of driver conflict regarding new computer hardware..btw,the Microsoft will stop his on line help and all sort of thing about XP..u will find more trouble in future if u using XP..for u information i use 2G RAM on my machine and looking to add some more..
