What system specs do you have?

[Alkaola 18]

I hope this will get a sticky status.... because i haven't seen a thread like this

now everybody can show there system specs and tell how smoothly it runs or crashlessly

this will be very helpfull for members who buy a new computer

thanks

my current system:

ATI Radeon X800 Pro  ( not recommended)
1.5 GB of ram
Pentium 4 2.6 GHZ

ALL INTEL !!!

remeber AMD IS better than INTEL for playing games like these

[Constantina 5]

My Processor is Intel Inside Pentium M

The processor speed is 1.6 GHz

My main computer model is a Toshiba Tecra A2

My operating system is Windows XP with Service Pack 2.

I have 494 Mb of RAM

I have 4096 Mb of Virtual memory set on my computer

The My documents folder is set to an external hard drive

The external hard drive model is Freecom Classic SL and has a 250 Gb capacity

I have a 64 Mb sound card

My computer runs wery well in a large city, although the game only crashes if I hover a NAM puzzle piece over a station. So far, there has never been a blue screen crash on this computer.

Hewlett-Packard Media Center PC

AMD Athlon 64 3700+ (2.2GHz, Socket 939, San Diego Core, 1MB L2 Cache)

ATi Radeon X200 Graphics (128MB Shared) (Finally sold my RMAed 7800GT, MSI 7900GT is in the mail!)

1024MB PC3200/DDR400 SDRAM

250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive at 7200RPMs

LightScribe DVD +/- R/W Drive

DVD-ROM Drive

Integrated 7.1 Sound Chip

Aspire ATX 500W PSU

System runs the game fine, but for some odd reason, the game will always crash between 55 minutes to 1 hour of playing. Maybe its telling me I'm spending too much time on it?

There was just had a thread about good computer specs, so what is the point of this?

Actually its better in all games , not just 3 year-old sprite-based ones.

definitly not the same thread... there is a difference

this thread is to ask if players expierence lag or crashes with there system

[paperboy15 4]

• Pentium 4 HT 3.0 GHz
  • 1 GB RAM
    • 128 MB Video Card
    Runs smooooothly...but it takes awhile to start up, thanks to my 1 GB+ plugins folder! I generally run my in-game settings from medium to high quality.

Mine would be Pentium 4 2.8C

2 Gb of RAM

ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 128 Mb (Will be upgrading this)

And I put my SC4 program and plugins on a different HD just so it would load faster.

Yeah it runs smoothly, until I enter a largely developed city but I guess everyone have that issue already.

It crashes sometimes, especially when I'm dealing with NAM thingie. Well. I guess that's what the Ctrl + S key is for.

256 mb of ram, pentium 4 2.53 ghz, nvidia geforce 420 64 mb of vram. runs fine. no lag.

WOW, this is great, ive been coming to this site a short time and this is one of my favorite subjects. first of all i didnt know there was such a difference with operating system and SC4 compatability when i bought my Mac. i actually just wanted to try it out and i thought i could play SC4 w/ it. then i tried to register w/ ea and thats when mom and dad started fighting. anyways...

keep in mind this all weighs less than 5lbs in a 12 inch package(got a 21inch wide lcd)

Apple PowerBook G4 1.33,

64 mb nvidia 5200

512 ram,

OSX 10.3.9

Rush hour and all the plugins i want (the folder says 63 items)

and minimal "lag" i guess, so i just construct w/ only zones showing.

never crashes. !PERIOD!

it only takes 3 to 6 seconds per month with 200+k residents in a region i downloaded w/ 1+million pop. ive been playing like this for over a year now, however i only recently (since xmas) found rush hour and was blessed to find Simtropolis. thanks Dirk

that's good news exit

[AIX 270]

My laptop runs:

• AMD Athlon 64 3800+ @ 2.4 GHz

• 2048 MB RAM

• ATI Radeon Mobility Xpress 200 with 128 MB dedicated memory

I have never had a game crash. I use 450 MB of plugins. I typically have all settings on high except for cars/sims on medium. Lags are rare. The only region I am currently working on that lags is my mega region... It's over 100 km wide.

My Laptop specs
Pentium 4 2.4gig
1gig 233 SDRAM
32MB ATI Graphics
Integrate sound card
40gig HD
I have 3 gigs of plugins between the 2 plugin folders takes about 10 minutes to start up even with the SUM cutting sown some of the loaded folders. I have major lagging problems. U-Drive-It is not an option, and building while letting the game run it impossible. I pause the game to build and then let it run for awhile to see whatg happens. However I rarely ever crash and it is usually because of the NAM puzzle pieces if I do.
My PC has a faster chip, more HD space, a better and faster graphic card, but it is in NYC and I am in Florida till I move my things next week!!

My Laptop

Intel Pentium 4M @ 1.8ghz, 512k L2 cache, 400Mhz FSB
640MB ddr 266 ram
32MB Nvidia Gforce4 440 Go
20GB HD
Windows XP Professional

Game runs on highest settings for everything. Strangely, despite how old this laptop is, the game has never crashed. Ive played on much more powerful machines and the game crashes on them, I dont really know why. I play a city of 500 thousand and it does lag quite a bit though.
