penkwolf Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I have got FM 2009, but it is quite slow. I have defragged my computer, and done alot of other computer related things to spead it up, but i cnt get anything to help. My laptop which i play it on is : Advent Processor: Intel® Celeron® M CPU 450@ 2.00GHz 2.00GHz Memory (RAM): 894 MB 32-bit operating system And i have got 49.2GB left space from 87.7GB Please help Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftg87 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Looking at that, I would say you need more RAM, especially if you are running Vista as you need at least 1 gig to meet the minimum spec, either way some more RAM would probably speed things up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 How many leagues have you tried to run? What other programs have you running? If you are on XP, then you should be able to run 1 league at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
penkwolf Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 im on vista, im runnin about 4 leagues, only got 1 career. if i brought some ram would it speed it up definetly?? how much does ram cost? Thanks for fast replys btw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Yeah more RAM is essential as technically your lucky your game runs at all as 1GB is the minimum requirement for Vista. RAM is quite cheap. Maybe ftg87 can fill you in more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
penkwolf Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 how much ram would you say i need so that it plays fast, and i can get through a season in a day or less etc, or well as quick as possible? atm ive played 15 hours and just got to end of season. thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe ftg87 can fill you in more. Woohoo! I love telling people to buy more RAM! 1st port of call should be crucial and do their scan, it should tell you how much RAM you need and a cost, like jod says, it aint expensive how much ram would you say i need so that it plays fast, and i can get through a season in a day or less etc, or well as quick as possible? atm ive played 15 hours and just got to end of season. thanks I would say you need at least 1.5 to 2 gigs, I currently have 1.5 gig and it takes very little time to load things, and my processor is worse than yours so you should see a big improvement with that sort of amount Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the type of RAM you need and that depends on the model of your laptop. Did you try going to that link ftg87 posted. That will let you know.

jod123 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 That made more sense than the essay I just typed I'm glad it did. o ok thanks, think i will buy 1gb tomorow? how do i fit it in, or install it? sorry, lol but by looking at it, do i have to take apart my laptop to get the new ram in? will it effect any programes for the worse, as in not let me run any, or delete any? or is it just going to imporve my fm experience lol Yeah you have to open up you laptop to put install it and it should not affect any programs for the worse. It will make your FM experience better and also your laptop in general. EDIT: Yeah you need specific RAM. What model laptop do you have? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roseboy64 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 it says 1024 mb, but on my computer properties it says 800 something MB? It has to do with certain stuff the computer uses and what's available for your use. Both numbers are correct in any case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
