Minimum spec for 2D and 3D.

As a lot of people, I knew my set-up (at work) wouldn't be able to run the 3D but thought running the game in 2D would be OK. I figured I could do some player searching etc and then play matches when I got home!

The question is, why do some people get the option to play the game just with 2D and for others the game wont start at all?!?! (fm.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.)

Without knowing too much about DirectX and the like, it does seem that FM09 does do things in a totally different way to 08, you can tell when in windowed mode, and it redraws differently.

Is this right?

So what are the minimum specs for running in 2D?
