what laptop will u use on football manager 2012
i used this laptop for football manager 2011 and it was good

specs.
intel celeron dual core 2.10ghz/2.9ghz
3gb memory
3gb memory

do you think it will be ok to use it again for football manager 2012?

**SWaRFeGa** · 05-10-2011 00:05

Yes, it'll be fine.

**azzvilla** · 05-10-2011 00:13

what laptop do u use.

**SWaRFeGa** · 05-10-2011 00:29

I use a PC.

**Neil Train** · 05-10-2011 01:03

i'm really sad. splashed out £750 on a laptop with i5 processor and 8gb RAM JUST so i could play FM comfortably. overkill methinks.

**Scab** · 05-10-2011 02:00

You'll get by with that, azzvilla. When I'm not at the "main" computer at home I use a Macbook Pro. Core 2 Duo 2.26GHz, 8GB RAM, GeForce 9400M GPU, running OS X 10.6.8. FM11 runs fine and I'm sure FM12 will too.

I wouldn't play it with anything less than an i5. 8GB RAM isn't really necessary, but it's cheap enough nowadays so why not?

**MPAK** · 05-10-2011 05:05

i use HP Pavillion dv7 (Core i5/8gb/500gb).
i use it for work during daytime, and play on it in the evening.

**insai** · 05-10-2011 08:34

Buying on steam so I'll be playing on both PC & Mac.

PC
i7 / 8GB Ram / Nvidia 560ti X2 / 120GB SSD

Laptop
Macbook Air 13 / i5 / 4GB Ram / Onboard Gfx / 128GB SSD

**Robert the Spud** · 05-10-2011 09:42

I've got an AMD phenom Quad core processor, 3GB of RAM. Worked well for FM11, but I want to increase the GB to 6 before playing FM12.

Does anybody have any idea on what i should do to clean the computer up to make t run better. My battery is screwed aswell.

how much did you pay, as im looking at the same specs for my new lappy, cheers eugene

**MRW** · 05-10-2011 10:51

Just bought a Lenovo w510 for $934 AUD off of Grays Online...

i7-820qm
8 GB RAM
500 GB 7200rpm HDD
Full HD (1920*1080) 15.6" Screen
nVidia Quadro FX 880 M with 1GB

More than enough grunt - but a really great price (considering work paid around 5K AUD for the same thing just over a year ago)

But that'll be because the new w520's have been released with the 2nd gen i-core CPU's - but I didnt want to pay over 2500 AUD for what I wanted...

Shame the Aussie dollars fallen recently or it would almost have made sense to import from the US...

**Eugene Tyson** · 05-10-2011 10:53

€850 from Dell

My search parameters went like this

http://www.dell.com/uk/p/laptops?~ck=mn

17 inch screen

More than 4gb

And then whatever was there (obviously checking specs etc). Don't know why this one was so cheap. All the other laptops I looked at for the exact same specs were about 1.5 to 2 x the price?

I'm sure if you shop around various online retailers you'll get a bargain. I was looking for about 2 months. Finally spotted one and took it

Christ I'm using a dino compared to most on here! Athlon dual core, 2gb ram and some sort of graphics card - scores a 5.2 in the windows score but it's a fair few years old. Would love a new set up for fm but I'm a tight git / spend money else where on stupid stuff round the house instead.

**Neil Train** · 05-10-2011 20:59

i found dell to be really good: can tailor a machine to your (FM) needs. i went thru my specs earlier in this thread but i dont buy housey-type stuff, my major investment in the past 24 months has been my laptop. even had it repaired last week: broken screen. note to self: don't fall on laptop, drunk

Asus g 73 gaming laptop

it has i7

**schiv85** · 06-10-2011 11:15

Bought this from Comet a few weeks back specifically for FM12. (£399)

ASUS K53E
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410
6GB Ram (Upgraded. Only had 3gb when i bought it)

Only downside is integrated graphics but should manage 3D on medium I think.

**Staf9** · 06-10-2011 11:18

just bought a Samsung RC520, 6GB Ram, 750 GB HD, 1BG Nvidia graphics card, Intel i5.
was getting 5 stars for 8 -10 leagues running on FM11 o should be good for FM12

Same here, but without the extra ram (yet). Where did you get the extra ram from? I was going to get 8gb from crucial.com as it's only about £45.

**schiv85** · 06-10-2011 11:29

I got mine from a shop on amazon(uk) It was £18 for 4gb crucial. Really easy to install aswell.

**Keyzer Soze** · 06-10-2011 11:31

Since, FM is a 32bits software, those extra 4GB of ram do any difference?

**schiv85** · 06-10-2011 11:38

Since I upgraded from 3gb to 6gb FM 11 is slightly faster but nothing exceptional. I was just treating myself to be honest. Been suffering with slow FM games for years and didnt think 3GB was quite enough. Hoping to select quite a few leagues this year.

**Eugene Tyson** · 06-10-2011 12:25

RAM won't improve the speed of a game. It will however make multitasking BETTER. The RAM you have the more programs you can run in the background, e.g.. internet browser, steam, instant messaging apps (gtalk, skype, windows live etc.), anti-virus, music player (itunes, or other), etc.

People with 2GB of RAM will notice a difference when trying to do other tasks on the computer. People with 4gb of RAM will be satisfied. But with 64 bit systems you have the chance to go beyond the 4gb of RAM into 6 and 8gb or 16gb or 32gb RAM and this frees up the memory to run all those other tasks that you may be running while playing football manager.

RAM won't really affect the speed of the game, it's the processor that does that. It's a game database, analysing data constantly which needs to be processed by the computer, so the processor is KEY along with good amount of RAM (4gb or higher will be plenty)

**Eugene Tyson** · 06-10-2011 12:29

That's to say someone with Windows 32 bit and 2gb RAM will find it difficult to play FM and run other programs, like Steam and an Internet browser (plus whatever anti-virus software or other programs that startup automatically)

Someone with Windows 64bit and 2gb will notice a major drag on their system as Windows 64 bit uses more RAM than 32 bit, so along with the above it will be difficult for the computer to split the memory up between steam, fm, anti-virus, and windows.

Rule of thumb really is get as much RAM as you can for 32 bit, which is 4gb.

With 64 bit system try to get more than 4gb RAM - it's not necessary but it will improve the splitting of tasks between the RAM you have.

I never close fm, I just alt-tab out and leave it minimised and running in the background, so the more ram I have the quicker everything else will be whilst I'm not on fm.

**stevie_G_32201** · 06-10-2011 14:58

Going for a core i7 Xps.

**civilservant** · 06-10-2011 15:12

Maccbook Pro 13" here, 2011 baseline model. Run 20 leagues on full detail and playable in FM11 so itll be fine for FM12.

**ERBE** · 06-10-2011 20:15

I'm looking for a small computer around 11-12".
Usage: FM2012 and browsing.

What can u recommend besides Samsung 350U2?
What processor to aim for? Any idea to go below the i3?
I want to be able to use the 3D-view, and not settle for the 2D.

Thanks in advance.

be interested to see replies to this one. i actually looked at netbooks last week but found 1gb ram quite limiting. i used to have a 12" laptop, powerful at the time (2005) and played fm well, until my wife dropped it and broke the screen, we're divorced now.

then when i got drunk and fell on my current grunt-machine with 8gb ram and i5 processor i first thought of "upgrading" instead of getting it fixed and looked into more portable options but didnt find a lot.

you watch in 3d? i find only 2d classic shows me what's really going on, that's just always been my personal preference.

I will be playing it on my MacBook pro i5 2.5 GHz CPU I think or 2.3, 4GB ram. I want to run all the leagues and lower leagues in England, Scotland, Italy, France, Germany, portugal, holland and a few more. Do you think it will run so many leagues at a good speed with those specs?

I've got a Dell Laptop with 1.3 Ghz processing speed
3gb RAM
320gb Hard drive space
Will this work with FM 12?

**FrazT** · 27-11-2011 14:57

The processor looks as if it is below the min spec and you dont mention a graphics card so it may not run the game.

**jfeehily7** · 27-11-2011 15:00

It does have a graphics card, just checked spec

**alexyfoot** · 27-11-2011 15:04

Any processor and graphics card name? Or at least when you bought it...1.3 ghz does not mean anything (except that it will be slow, but more info is needed to tell whether you can actually run the game)...or maybe laptop full name...

**jfeehily7** · 27-11-2011 15:10

The processor is AMD Brazos C60 and the graphics is AMD Integrated Radeon HD 6290? :/

**alexyfoot** · 27-11-2011 15:19

Ouch. You probably can run a couple of leagues with an acceptable speed (not fast, but still playable). 3D match engine-wise - should run on minimum detail. RAM-wise you are fine.

**alexyfoot** · 27-11-2011 15:35

Mind you, if it is a netbook, I think there is some issue with the skin (not release yet or something) so bear that in mind.

**jfeehily7** · 27-11-2011 15:49

I might be getting another laptop for Christmas which has an Intel Celeron Duel Core Processor with a speed of 2.1Ghz

**alexyfoot** · 27-11-2011 17:13

It is a much better option for anything really, I (my sister actually) has one of those and it doesn't cause any problems, for FM they are good enough for normal performance.

**jfeehily7** · 27-11-2011 20:33

I've ordered an Acer Travelmate 5335 with an Intel Celeron Dual Core Processor at a speed of 2.1gHz. Also the RAM is 2gb. It also has a graphics card. Will FM work with this?

**alexyfoot** · 27-11-2011 21:56

Yes should be fine as long as you don't play a few other programmes along with FM as the RAM is only 2 GB and FM requires 1 GB RAM so you don't have much leftover but something like Internet Explorer + Skype + FM should be handled within 2 GB.

The processor is OK to load a few leagues and the 3D should work on medium details. Good purchase. Good luck playing

**Eugene Tyson** · 27-11-2011 21:59

No way you can know how the graphics will handle on those specs? Not enough information.

**alexyfoot** · 27-11-2011 22:08

The graphics is HD2000 Sandy Bridge of B950. I know what it can do with other stuff as I tested it back home when I was dealing with my sister's laptop (same processor). From what I saw from it, I think medium settings seems doable. Unfortunately, I didn't have FM12 back then to test it

Worst case scenario, for fluid matches you will go down to low level...it isn't that bad for FM.

The graphics card does 80 FPS on low level on FIFA 12 and 23 FPS on Racedriver Grid (again on low) - I don't think FM12 is any heavier for the 3D match engine than those two so should be fine on low and I think Medium, too.

**David Ngog** · 28-11-2011 00:52

Will this laptop run FM12 well?

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-pav...90980-pdt.html

Processor AMD Dual-Core E2-3000M processor (1.8 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB, 1 MB L2 cache)
Operating System Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
RAM 4 GB
- DDR3
- 6 GB maximum expandable memory
Graphics card AMD Radeon HD 6380G Dual GPU
-1 GB DDR3 dedicated
- up to 1.98 GB total

I think the graphics card is good enough to run matches in 3D?

But the processor is only 1.8GHz and the system requirements say min 2.GHz on Windows 7. Would that make a big difference?

If not what's the best laptop I could get for around £400 that would run it it quickly?

THANKS!

Help?Anyone

**FrazT** · 26-05-2012 08:17

Not clear from that link which one you are talking about- are these machines new?

**Georgy best** · 28-05-2012 12:04

Doh,think it was the pavilion hp,trying to find a used laptop as its only for FM
So can we clarify this,to run a large database with lots of leagues I will need at least
1-4gb Of RAM
2-i5 or higher
3-GRaphics card???
4-pocessor????
5-15 inch screen

And it can't be a brand that has overheating problems?did I miss anything?could someone fill in the blanks and correct me if I'm wrong on any,just simplifies it for my stupidity.thanks

**TioPatinhax** · 14-08-2012 15:38

People here say 8gb is a waste in order to play FM, why is that guys?

Thanks

FM won't use that much memory, so it's only really useful if you are running other memory hungry things at the same time as FM.

**TioPatinhax** · 14-08-2012 19:37

Thanks. And as the savegame keeps going in size, whats the most important thing RAM or processing speed?

**TioPatinhax** · 16-08-2012 15:36

Anyone please?

**thomit** · 16-08-2012 15:48

To negate the slowing down over time the best, go with a SSD. Works for me.

And folks; a laptop is a pc (personal computer) A pc can be a desktop, or a laptop. A pc can also be a laptop or desktop running on MacOS. A Apple personal computer is also a pc, whether it is a desktop or a laptop.

My next laptop - which amongst other things will also be used for FM 2013, naturally - will most probably be a Clevo P150E (here under the guise Multicom Kunshan P150E), with a Core i7-3820QM processor, 240 Gb Intel 520 series SSD + a regular spin disk, 16 Gb 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM, and a Nvidia GTX 680M graphics card. The latter being totally overkill for FM, I know - but FM will not be the only game I will play on it. The amount of RAM is needed for other things than FM, but it won't hurt. The processor and SSD will be very handy for FM, however. This will be my only pc, used both for work and pleasure, so it needs to be this powerful. Well ... need .... let me rephrase that; the power of this pc will be very helpful for me. This laptop will most probably also be my last pc untill Intel makes it next giant leap in processing technology (Haswell).
This laptop can be found under other names, depending on country and vendor. In UK you will find the same laptop but with other branding and model names - for example @ pcspecialist.co.uk, and pwnpcs.co.uk.

SSD & FM performance is pretty much a placebo effect. Whilst processing on full-detail, my FM.exe only read an average of 68Bytes/sec and a mode response time of 3ms (average 5ms). You are not going to notice that. Most of the data is in RAM, hence the low disk overhead.

Nevertheless, I am experiencing no noticable slowdown with a SSD in my system, compared to what I noticed when I had exactly the same machine as now, only with a regular spin disk as OS/ system disk. I can't explain why, as it shouldn't matter much. But it does. The other thing is of course load and save times. With a SSD, I don't really notice the hold-up, or the little notice you get that says "saving game ...)" It goes by so fast I don't really have to wait moving on with the game at all. 3 file save every fortnight.

I would recommend going back to the store and asking them where the key is. If you bought it in the store 1st hand then it should be on the box or manual.
If it was second hand then, well, I guess they kept it

can't find it on the box, neither in manual... he bought it in Germany, and i'm from Serbia, so i can't go there... can i find it on Internet? thanx for helping

I'm sorry but I really don't know. I wasn't even aware the game was for sale in Germany.
If there is nothing on the box or the manual, then I would try contacting SI customer service with photographic proof of what you bought.
Or, buy FM 2012 from the internet again, it should be heavily reduced due to being old.
I can't really suggesting anything else.

If the game was bought new, then it should have the authentication code on the box. If it was bought second hand, then the code has probably been used and cannot be used again and shouldnt have been sold. You really need to start by going back to the store that sold it.

I'm sorry to hear that.
FM 12 should be quite cheap now, if you can find it anywhere, although I think they don't sell it on steam anymore to force people to buy the new one.
Even FM 13 should be reduced at some point in the coming weeks. If I was you I would keep an eye out on the steam shop and try and buy it there.
