Guernica Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Want a PC that will play the new FM at a decent speed. I know nothing about desktops and memories etc. Am looking to pay as little as possible. Seen one in PC world for about £250 inc monitor etc, but not too sure it will cope and don;t want to be sat there waiting ages for it to play. Any ideas? Could do with spreading payments.

davegtt Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 The minimum PC System Requirements for FM 2009 Windows Vista or XP Processor Speed - Vista - 2.0GHz, XP - 1.4GHz Memory - Vista - 1GB, XP - 512MB Videocard - 128MB Nvidia FX 5900 Ultra, ATI Radeon 9800, Intel 82915G/82910GL or greater. Compare with what youve seen and you'll be ok. But PLEASE... dont buy a PC/Laptop from PC World Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footy68 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Do you know, I bought a Fujitsu Siemens from the Latics favourite supermarket and it's been fine, especially at under £300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_ragg1984 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Try Tesco's or ASDA, I'm sure they do separates. Yeah they do. There are usually some pretty decent ones in Tesco in failsworth for under a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 What kind of graphics card does your new one have, Guernica? Sounds like it might not even have one. Get yourself a sapphire Guernica. Beef that beast up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
