Computer Hardware?

[SimRay 2]

What's the lowest Spec of computer that can run SM4/Rush Hour at full pelt?

i.e. full graphics and full # of sims and cars.

 

 

It's just I'm thinking of getting a new machine for the sole purpose of playing SM4, my current machine has only 128mg of RAM!

This have been talk about ever since the game was released.

To sum it up:

Some say that the game will never run perfect with highest settings, even if you have the mother of all computers.

Some say that it runs smooth on their 256mb, 64mb graphics card and 1 Ghz processor.

General advise:

1024mb of RAM

256mb graphics.

1024mb vs. 512bm of RAM


Who has good machine specs???

Im running the game on a 1700 with 768 sdram & 64 meg radion, works great.

Thing is everything that runs / starts-up on boot (a/v, security, etc.) chews up about 256 so I think as long as the game has access to enough memory you'll be ok. I doubt it would even start on 128, and on 256? That would be like a soccer team praticing in your kitchen. It might work but wouldn't be pritty.

It works I assure you (on my 128ram) but it's not pretty!

 

I still managed to get a region with 300,000 sims (And counting!)

Hi this is my first post. I haven't even bought the game yet but I'm planning to (I used to play SimCity2000 when I was younger)

So will it run okay on my system? I have a Pentium IV, 2 GHz and 256 MB RAM. I don't know enough to say what the graphics abilities are or whatever . What settings would I want to use for the game on this system?

Thanks . I'm really learning a lot by reading through these forums. I'm still looking for a good thorough how to manual, but I may just have to wait for the official manual that comes with the program.

edit: I looked at the linked thread from above, but I don't know enough about computers to understand much in it . lol...I'm not computer illiterate at all, but I guess I know less than I thought I did!

One thing I want to add. 256mb RAM graphics cards aren't always better than higher clock speeds. The 6600GT which is 128 bus and 128mb RAM is much better than a 6600 256mb or a crippled 6800 (aka 6800LE) Basically, a 9600 or 5700 and up or a 6600 and x700 and up will work.

Your pushing it with a 6200/x300.
