DaveyB Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I have been thinking of buying a new desktop PC for a while. FM2009 doesnt work on my laptop due to the laptop not being good enough. I am a complete novice when it comes to PC`s. Should I be looking into upgrading my Laptop or purchasing a new desktop? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Guest PW Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yes that PC would be more than capable as far as I am aware. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyB Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Would there be anything that I should be looking to have as well. I am not able to build my own PC and as such need to buy it off the shelf. I only really play FM and general stuff like internet usage and word processing. I dont want to buy the system and find it needs new graphics or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 This system is top of the range just now so will run FM09 perfectly. P.S This is the Bugs forum so questions like this should be in the General one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PW Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Only other thing to be aware of is that if u go to wireless internnet at some stage it doesn't appear to have a wireless card in it so you would need to install one yourself from the looks of those specs.

Ranson52 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I have bought a new PC, was going to do so anyway. I expect the game is going to run very much better on the new PC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can wireless cards be added without opening the PC casing? I understand if I open the casing it will void the warranty that the machine comes with.
