StevoRobbo Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 yes it will. probably best just to play with commentary though. Also a small database and only a few leagues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOMAS1982 Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 ok thanks,Would it make it so i could play with a bigger daterbase if i got an external hard drive, what size would i need if this was the case? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 An external Hd wont help speed nor will it allow you to play more leagues. Your specs are pretty much at the lower end so I'd play the demo first just to make sure you're happy with the speed. If you wanted to play more leagues, you'd have to look at installing more RAM and you also may need a processor upgrade to help with processing speed.

In fact any game. FM isnt the most taxing of resources and some new software will probably run slow on a machine with that spec. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would only play fm on it, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoRobbo Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 are you after a desktop or laptop? How much are you willing to spend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOMAS1982 Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 not sure, think mainly a laptop, around 400 but less would be great, but think with that budget i'd be strugglin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoRobbo Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Desktop http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/shop/detail.asp?ProductID=6040&CategoryID=407&SubCategoryID= Laptop http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/shop/detail.asp?ProductID=6102&CategoryID=404&SubCategoryID= I have no doubt people will be able to point you in the direction of much better deals but maybe use these as a guideline if your only looking to use it for FM. It also depends if you will be using the 3D or not. The laptop would probably struggle with the 3D so you would need to look for one with a dedicated graphics card.

Welshace Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 have a look at the usual sites like Mesh, pcspecialist and arbico.. they give you an idea what you can get for your money.. for 400 you could easily get a pc capable of playing fm with most leagues running Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoRobbo Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 not sure, think mainly a laptop, around 400 but less would be great, but think with that budget i'd be strugglin. well if you paid 400 then there shouldnt be much of a problem. As you say, you only want it for FM so it should be ok for a few years. My laptop is a Celeron M 1.6Ghz and 1gb ram and 80gb HDD. Rubbish really but I only play FM on commentary with England to league 2 and maybe a couple of top leagues from 1 or 2 other countries and it runs ok. My desktop is a AMD Athlon x64 3800+, 2gb ram and 2x250gb HDD. Again not the best but it does the trick. I play large database with all top european countries loaded. I only ever play with commentary/2D though so its ok. It would struggle with 3D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
