To install Silent Hunter 4 - Wolves of the Pacific - Patch V 1.1 you will need approximately 200 MB free hard disk space for the full patch.

BTW, I am guessing that all of that junk is just alerting you to the fact that the patch will expand to eat up VIRTUAL MEMORY - not HD space.
It is odd that it would be mentioned as you need at least a Gig to run this thing in the first place and I'm pretty sure that no one is dumb enough to have a dozen programs running when the upload the patch. |
HD space IS virtual memory
"In NT-based versions of Windows (such as Windows 2000 and Windows XP), the swap file is named pagefile.sys. The default location of the page file is in the root directory of the partition where Windows is installed. Windows can be configured to use free space on any available drives for page files IE Virtual Memory." |
Not exactly. Hd space can be used as virtual memory, but it is not virtual memory.
I'm guessing the 200 MB is needed because it mentions sound files and end game movies and other such things that will be large.
