Thank you all for the information!

I'll look around for buying a new computer.
I'll have a look what I need for SH5...
Any recommendations...?

Again, thank you,
Easy

It all depends on your finances. A cheap core 2duo plus a g31 motherboard, 2gig ram and a geforce9600gt would make a decent budget rig although outclassed for modern games will play most current ones and can be built second hand.

I've bought 3 nice gaming rigs off Craigslist. Just make sure they let you try it out and run a few test. I got a AMD 64x2 6000, 4mgs of ram and a 9800gt for $200, with monitor, speakers, ect..

To upgrade enough to play SH4 on a budget you could upgrade only those components that allow your computer to run the game smoothly.

What I mean is I maxed out my ram when I found some sticks on sale waited to find a good price on a video card then added that. Every other part of my desktop home computer was good enough. And, on top of that, I didn't buy SH4 until it was below $20. Later I got the U-Boat Missions add on.

I guess the main point I'm making is that if you are patient and replace ONLY the things necessary to get good game play from your computer for SH4 you can do it pretty darn cheap.
