this is quite weird

iv seen lots of people on this board who have something like 1gb if ram or so and say their game is slow or won't work. but i only have 112mb of ram yet my game runs smoothly.

Really only 112 MB of ram, can not believe that really, what OS you are running?

To be sure how much you have, right click on My Computer, in the General tab you can find the amount or Ram you actually have (the last line, after you CPU speed).

112mb?? That sounds strange. Is your computer around 8+ yrs old??

sorry i don't know much about somputers, whats a OS

and yes i just checked and i have 112mb of ram

and iv also hand this computer for almost 3 years now

OS = operating system, like windows XP, vista etc.

yeah i have windows xp

You don't have 112MB RAM. You can't get 112MB RAM.

As if you have 112mb lol

You don't have 112MB RAM. You can't get 112MB RAM.

It goes up in a certain way

8 , 16 , 32 , 64 , 128 , 256 , 512 , 1024

You must have 128mb

That wont be your system RAM. If it is I'd wager its what is assigned to graphics (although that number seems large?)

It could be gfx card RAM, but then it'd be 128Mb. I dont think Windows would load with 112Mb of RAM!

Does it say Casio on the front of the machine?

Impossible. FM09 uses more memory than that. Hell, even running a flash game in firefox would use up all your memory

Mine strangly says 1023 RAM rather than 1024 so you never know!

That is just the memory cache being used

The same when u buy a hard drive of say 80gb it never it exactley 80gb

I didn't mean to put strangely . He may well have 112mb of ram though how FM even starts up is beyond me.

on my dxdiag it says 112mb of ram, i don't know what else to say

Pretty sure he's talking about shared video memory here. XP won't even run on under 128mb of RAM

HaHa

Could you post a screenshot?

xp can run with 64mb of ram, aint tried it though and dont think i ever will

never heard of 112mb of ram though

could it be he has had some mb lost on his pc.

He's probably got 128MB system RAM with a video card that uses 16MB of his system RAM instead of having it's own. XP will certainly run with a configuration like this (I used to run it with 128MB - an 8MB shared video card), although it's not exactly brilliant. The way the game performs on this sort of setup will be entirely down to what leagues are running and what database size. Plus obviously peoples expectations are different - one persons smooth running is another persons slow as hell.

If you look at the FM.exe process while it's running, it will use more than 128mb with just one league. When RAM is used up it will turn to virtual memory and there's no possible way anyone would be able to confuse it with running smoothly

Yeah, but virtual RAM is only slow if it's being continually accessed. If stuff like players history, for example, is being kept in RAM, then it won't necesarily be a problem - It will just sit there on his harddrive effectively using up memory, but not being accessed and not slowing the game down.

That is awesome! 112mb of RAM!

It may be that he had 128mg of Ram and that some is being used or something and it shows up as 112, as with most things they never add up exactly.

Post a screenie please,

On this computer, I have 256mb of RAM and on my other 3GB of RAM.

how do you post a screenie without a link

That's is wired mate. Never seen something like that.

Mine strangly says 1023 RAM rather than 1024 so you never know!

Mine old PC says 956mb on it

112 is non existence, like some already said, it always multiplies

28 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 etc etc

If you do have 112RAM and using windows xp (and managing to run FM09) you'll probably play once every week? Just booting up would take ages!

How long are you waiting to boot up and shut it down again?

On a side note, a friend of mine managed to run VMWare on a windows XP OS with 1024MB of RAM, and installing Vista Business using VMWare. Nothing blew up eventually, but it was slow as hell.

my computer turns on fast shuts down fast, i can run multiple apps at one time, all smoothly. nothing is wrong with it
