Will my system be able to run SH4?

You'll definitely want at least a gig of memory (2 gig is preferable). I'm not too sure about the capabilities of your video card, but I managed to run the game with reduced settings with an ATI 9600Pro 256MB card. Looks like your processor should be up to the task. A sound card might help, too, if you are using onboard sound.

I have a AMD Athlon 64 3500+ ; 2 Gig ; and played sh4 without problems with a radeon X800 PCI-E. I have a 8800 GTS 640 Mb now because my youngest son (25 btw) wanted me to play "bioshock" and there ...my X800 told me ...do it youreself.
Thank you son ...my SH4 looks great :rotfl:

I currently have two 256mb PC3200 sticks (well, at least 1 of them is pc3200, I assume the other is, otherwise I'd be having problems wouldn't I?). I've got four slots, but two of them are different from the other two - two are black and two are blue. I don't know what this means. This is my motherboard.

Also, I don't have a soundcard, but I've never had a problem with onboard sound - SH3 sure sounded good. At the moment I just want to get this whole RAM thing sorted out so I can buy another stick or two. :hmm:

Onboard sound uses CPU. I have a slower machine, and found that a dedicated sound card freed up needed CPU cycles for the other things of the game.

The memory slots are probably color-coded like that so that you'd match up pairs of sticks so you get dual-channel. In fact, looking at the manual, that's it. Either the blue, or the black, or all four slots, to get dual-channel. They should be identical. If you have two different memory sticks, you put them in different colors (slots 1 and 3).
