TomHAVFC Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I was just wondering if someone from SI could just inform me of how much memory I will need to play FM09 as I hardly have any space left on my laptop and was just wondering on how much I will need to play the game. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 If you uninstall FM08 and any programs you don't use you will be alright I reckon Tommy boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about 33MB free at the mo and FM08 is about 780MB which means I have just over 800MB but I think FM09 will need much more free memory that that left to play the game.

stevie_G_32201 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 i think miles said in a thread a few weeks back it will be around 3-4 GB. so even if you uninstall fm 08 it is unlikely to be enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's true then I have no chance of playing it. Can you buy memory for a laptop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakers Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Tom - You mean Disk space and not Memory, I think, judging from your posts Best to clear that confusion up before you go and buy the wrong thing. Could you tell us a bit about your laptop - system specs if possible? Its unusual in this day and age to be struggling for disk space (unless you have an unhealthy addiction to porn..not that i'm saying that's your problem ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomHAVFC Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 I'm not very good with computers so I don't know how to get my specs. Sorry about the "disk space" thing though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jags4ever Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 33mb is not a lot to have spare regardless of your hard disk size.

Wakers Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I would suggest that you try and clear off some disk space if you can - go into my computer and tell us how big drive C is and how much you have left Also, if you could go into control panel - add/remove programs and give us an idea of what you have installed, that would be great You can sort that list by size if you click on the heading that size "size" or something similar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
