Nick_UK_84 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hello, I've just brought a new PC, and its coming in the next few days an E7200 2.5 GB or something, and 4GB Cosiar XMS2 Ram. After reading about the 4gb limitation on 32bit Vista, I decided tog et 64Bit however I am concerned my beloved football manager won't work on it... didnt really think about it until now - does anyone know if it works and if so how well? Also I currently have a awful PC which just about runs XP - I normally run 1 league, what can this new system run - I'd want biggest database obviously and what should I run feasibly - Don't want to be wiating for 1000s of matches to be processed daily... let me know please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMaster#28 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 It does work on Vista64 (I'm running it now) and yes you are correct in saying if you have 4GB you need a 64bit OS to take advantage of all the memory. However, if it makes a difference to you FM probably won't ever use all 4GB. (though it will help if you are running lots of programs and FM at once of course).

Marquez Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 It works flawlessly on my Vista 64-bit laptop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCPD Manager Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Question Is FM running faster on Vista 64 bit as on XP? And what about Vista 32 bit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Fm will probably run slower on Vista 64 than XP 64. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSCCG Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I run probably over 10 leagues on huge detail, slightly better specs than yours but its so smooth and I'm already at 2017 at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbchuz Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The ram cap is removed (or at least extended) if you get service pack 1 for Vista. All 4gb will be recognised and utilised. No need to worry about that stupid limit any more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
