How many leagues can i run

On this pc specification what leagues and size database can i run without the game being slow.

Pentium 4 HT 3.4Ghz Processor

2GB Ram

160GB Hard Drive

Cheers.

All of them. After 10+ seasons it may start to go slower, but if you upgrade to 4GB Ram, you'll never have a problem. If you ran 50% of them on that spec, you'd enjoy your game immensely, and it'd still run smooth, and fast.

Thanks for your reply, i didn't think i would be able to as it's quite an old processor now.

Isn't the recommended spec for fm something like a 2.2ghz dual core processor?

Dual core is obviously a lot better, but in "computer terms" Dual core give best performance when you're running more than 1 or 2 applications. The Ram you have is good, and shouldn't really be a problem.

If you do upgrade your ram to 4GB you should be made aware of the fact that if you only have a 32 bit version of windows then you won't have access to all the 4GB. If you want access to the full 4GB then you'll also have to upgrade to a 64 bit version of windows.

does dual core make a difference on laptops for FM??

What leagues are people running and what size database and what spec? would be interesting to found out what pc's people are using and how much they are running and whether it runs slow or fast etc.

you can run easy more of 20 leagues

Sorry to butt in on this guy's thread, but I thought it would be pretty pointless and could create a lot of spam/unnecessary threads if every time someone wanted the same advice started a new thread, so I hope the OP doesn't mind me settling here for a bit. I don't have much idea about computers, so I was hoping someone could tell me what I could expect to run comfortably on my system:

Cheers.

Can anyone advise?

Again, it's entirely dependant upon how much sitting around you're willing to do and how long you expect to go.

If a little sitting around doesn't bother you, but you only plan to play 20 seasons, 4 countries would be fine. If you hate sitting around and plan to go 50 years*, perhaps 1 or 2.

I run 24 leagues from 10 countries on a dual-core 2.2ghz/2GB system and after 20 years I was annoyed with its sluggishness. But I'm the impatient type

VB

* the thing with the length of game is filesize. My 27 year game mentioned above is a 560mb save. So naturally with only a gig of ram you'll start struggling when it gets near that size. So less leagues and shorter games = smaller save size so smoother performance.

Top stuff there VonBlade, cheers for that. I am the impatient type but I play for 10 years max, so I think I'll go with about 3 leagues or even 2 because I really do want it to be very fast.

Thanks again.
