I posted a spec up the other day but I have since been in touch with a mate who builds PC's and has come up with this (the main parts minus power supply, operating system which will be vista i think etc)...

1 x Mushkin 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666 9-9-9-24 Silverline - 996768

1 x Asus M4A78LT-M LE AMD 760G (Socket AM3) DDR3 PCI-Express Motherboard

1 x AMD Phenom II X2 Dual Core 555 3.2GHz Black Edition C3 (Socket AM3) Processor

1 x Samsung HD103SJ SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 3.5" Hard Drive

Not sure on the graphics card as it is one he already has but says it works with FM no problem, so presuming the GPU is decent enough, how would this be looking to run FM in terms of leagues etc?

Hi All;

Am going to buy a new PC in the next few weeks and one of the main aspects I think about is how FM will play on it. I basically want to have a feature game, running with all major leagues in Europe, as well as S America, as well as having leagues from Mexico, Chile, etc, Czech Republic, Scandanavian leagues so I have loads of players. I have been looking at a few PCs but am not too computer literate so am non too wise on the specs. would you be able to advise.....I have a couple of the below;

Weak proccy. 20 leagues. AMD Athlon II X4 635 a better option at the same price. 35 leagues for 635.

880G would be better than 760G. (Mobo)

Cool, I usually only really run English and Scotland in full (not Blue Sq etc though), Spain's two divisions and Serie A. May load players from a couple of nations but nothing more as I tend to mainly stick to the British game.

The decent sized hard drive is handy for my University work and music. For the full thing all together its going to cost £250 so it seems like a decent enough deal. Is it easy enough to upgrade processors in the future?

Don't understand why you want a less powerfull proccy when a better is available.

Processors are easy to upgrade but this generation (AM3) is going to be replaced by AM3+/AM4 soon.

Sure, I see what you are saying. Its obviously not that I want a less powerful processor but just really gave the guy instructions to keep the cost as low as possible but good enough to do the stuff I want, which it will! It will not be getting used too much to be honest other than a small game of FM and some University work!

Cheers for the advice tho!

Hello everbody, how should this run?

Processor: Intel® Celeron® CPU 450 @ 2.20GHz 2.19GHz

Memory (RAM) 2.00GB

System type: 32-bit Operating System

Graphics card i am unsure on but it seemed to work the match engine fine.

Running the top 5 English leagues with a medium data base im only getting 1 star and processing seems to take a long time on international days especially. Another point i bought it through steam and i was wondering if that will make any difference to the speed compared to buying it on on a disc?

Thanks for your time .

Sorry if this has been addressed aready, I looked through the forum and couldn't find the answer to this, but there is a lot so I might have missed it.

I'm wondering which OS is better for FM: Windows XP or Windows 7?

I mean, I've been running all my other FMs on XP and never had any problems but I was thinking of upgrading to Windows 7. I'm just worried that there might be more of a chance that FM won't work right, since I know a lot of people complained about Vista and their games.

I'm a complete noob when it comes to computers so I apologize if this question is dumb..anyway, XP or 7?

Thanks

Doesn't matter much. XP might run FM faster by 2-3 secs.

New 7 features make up for that. :thup:

15 leagues on all of them. Go with acer for the better GFX.

Can't say about the current spec as it doesn't specify exact model number.

I need a new PC. What kind of system would you need to run at max settings (all leauges and players), just out of interest. Is there such a thing as overkill when getting a pc for fm. I'm not bothered about 3D.

Budgetwise I suppose it would be a waste to spend anymore than £1,000 just to play FM for the next few years. So probably round that area. I don't need a monitor. I would be willing to go higher if it made a noticeable difference. I'm a bit out of touch with all the new pcs i5 and i7 stuff at the minute. I havent been paying attention for a few years so have no idea what to look out for when picking out a new pc.

I'm using a 4 year old dual core 2.4 at the minute which is about dead.

What about this one?

£1000?? You can get a great FM machine for £500-600.

And that HP doesn't look worth the money to me. You can build one for half the price with similar performance.

Could you please link me to a decent machine that could run all players and leagues.

Select which over Operating System you want... to save cash select the cheapest option :).

Miles cheaper & miles better then the other HP machine.... PC World are just money grabbers.

If you care to read the reviews you will read nothing but good about that machine.
