Default A lill help here? =D

Hello there.
I´ve been lurking in this foruns for a long time now and am a big fan of the SH series (actualy I´ve been playing subsims since AOD )

I´ve been playing SH3 + GWX and SH4 + OM (man, I LOVE SH4 + OM, been tweaking OM a little, like adding lines into the radio file. Sorry for for not asking permission first Lurker ) but want to give SH5 a try, even if I have to cope with the urge to burn UBI´s HQ later
I´ve read the minimum requirements to run the game but... I´m not sure if my rig can run SH5 (likely not)
Could you guys help me on this?

My specs:
Intel Dual Core E2180 2.00GHZ (main issue I guess)
1GB RAM (not sure if only 1gig will handle)
NVIDIA GEFORCE 8500GT 512Mb (think it´s ok)
Win XP (good ol xp)
Rest is ok or over specifications

Tanks in advance

Overall, I think what you have should give you a decent experience. You're running a better CPU than I am, and my experience overall has been really good. Even with shadows all the way on (something that has been giving some others some performance troubles) and some AA I haven't experienced much slowdown. You'd probably have to do without some of the higher graphics settings. Also, I'd think about getting that RAM up to 2 gigs. That would make a big difference.

My specs:

Vista Home SP2
Pentium D 3.2 GHz
2 GB RAM
Geforce 8800 GT 512MB

It would probably run ok, but I would recommend upgrading your RAM. It's not too expensive to go up to 2GB or more, and you'll see an improvement with just about everything.

Welcome aboard!

You'll want a new video card ASAP, not just for SH5. The 8500 was a pretty bad card to begin with (though cheap...) and will struggle with most modern games.

Definitely need more RAM.
