Agreed.

Except that the avarage pc nowdays is dual core, 4gb ram, geforce series 7 and above.

At least everybody I know have that sort of computer. Which is pretty normal, based on nowdays computer prices. You can get that configuration for $500 or less.

I might be wrong, but I think its kinda high hopes to think you'll run the game satisfatorily with 2gb ram.

I explain why.

They said the recommended settings to run SH3 was 512mb ram. Im having trouble running with 2gb. Sure we have add lots of mods and such, but still.

They said SH4 was based on SH3, an improvment. They also said SH5 is based on SH4. Unless it have a new spetacular code that is able to use the computer in a MUCH MORE reliable way. If they really improved the code, yes, 2gb ram will do. If they don't, and if you're running vista, and if its basically an improved version of SH4, I bet my ass that you won't be able to run it satisfatorily with 2gb ram. Ram makes such a difference nowdays. Its useless to have a good processor and a good videocard if you dont have enough ram. The computer will start using the pagefile, and we all know how things get sloooooowww when that happens.
