Will SC4 work on my PC?

[Forbury Lion 0]

Hi there

I purcased SC4 shortly after release way back when, It didn't work on my then PC, kept crashing, graphics were rubbish. In the end I traded it in.

I see the deluxe version is only £9.99 in the shops, However whilst this is great value it will be £9.99 wasted if it won't work on my current PC.

Specs are:

Processor (CPU)

 Intel® Core™2 Duo E6850 (2 X 3.00GHz) 1333MHz FSB/4MB L2 Cache

 

Memory (RAM)

 4096 MB CORSAIR DDR2 667MHz - LIFETIME WARRANTY! (4x1GB)

 

Motherboard

 ASUS® P5N32-E SLI+: Quad-core CPU Ready, NVIDIA® Dual X16 SLI

 

Operating Systems

 Windows Vista & XP dual boot

 

Memory - 1st Hard Disk

 500GB SERIAL ATA II HARD DRIVE WITH 16MB CACHE (7200rpm)

1st CD/DVD Drive

 20x DVD±RW/RAM/Dual Layer + Lightscribe (48 x CD-RW)

Graphics Card

 640MB GEFORCE 8800GTS PCI Express + DVI + TV-OUT

Sound Card

 Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ XtremeMusic 7.1

 

Any advice most welcome, From what I gather dual core could be a problem as could the graphics card.

It should work

Chuck it on one core, and run software rendering.

Is it likely to look okay or blotchy graphics?

it'll be fine, SC4 doesnt really mind multi-core PC's it should throw a fit, however if it does, you can always keep it on "Core0"

seems to run fine on my Quad Core Q6600

EDIT: The graphics will be fine, it runs fine on my 8800GTS 640MB. leave it on hardware unless theres a problem
