GesterX Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Define good? 3GB RAM and 2x 2GHz Processors is sufficient to play a decent size FM game. Lack ofa dedicated gfx card is not so good though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty_superleeds Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 good= to go 20 years into the game with t 20 leagues loaded? at a decent speed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GesterX Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 good= to go 20 years into the game with t 20 leagues loaded? at a decent speed? Now you've got to define decent speed And it depends what leagues you load. By comparison I have 2GB RAM (you have 3) and a little less processing power and I typically run a game with 15 nations (down to the lowest leagues) and a total of 60,000 players at a nice speed. A little tip - in preferences set "Processing Fixtures" at "Fastest". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty_superleeds Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 so ive only got 17 leagues loaded up with about 31000 players, may i aswell have around the same as you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GesterX Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 so ive only got 17 leagues loaded up with about 31000 players, may i aswell have around the same as you? Your machine is a little better than mine in terms of processing/memory so yes you could have the same amount or more in theory. It depends how fast you see a "decent" speed as. If you want to zip through seasons then go with a DB of less than 40K players. If you want a more fleshed out experience with more chance to brach out to different nations then add as many leagues as you want but be prepared to wait a few minutes when processing data.
