Yes, I read the SH4 requirements:

recommended sys:
WinXP/VISTA
DirectX 9.0c
Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon, 3 GHz
2048 MB RAM
DirectX 9.0c Grafics with 256 MB RAM and Pixel Shader 2.0

but this doesn´t help me - Why do you think I am kidding?

nothing to be sorry about so no worries but untill we actually see what the specs really are for sh5 we cant say for sure whats really good enough.

your specs are:
AMD Phenom 9650 quad-core 2,3 GHz,
ATI Radeon HD 3650 512 MB
4 GB RAM
Vista 64 Bit

so i would have to believe you are fine with that system but your video card is really weak compared to todays cards so that would be my only upgrade recommendation for you even though it might run sh5 ok just like it is.

The video card (3650) is not that good. I believe it would struggle with maximum details in 1280*1024.
The rest is really good value.

The main thing Ive found in re performance and longevity in a system is the Front Side Bus. I got a 3.2mhz PIV running a 800fsb and it only cost me a few months and a few extra dollars over the 533mhz fsb. Im so glad I got it I cant tell you. My single core rig is still competitive after 3+ years,with Gpu upgrades.

A limited fsb will be a bottleneck on the cpu, ram, gpu everything. So next rig will be 1600mhz fsb for me.

I still have a Core duo E8500 which isnt too bad, I really see no need for a quad core just yet.

Have 4GB Ram, but im on Win xp which can only handle 3GB :-/
Trouble is, I really really HATE Vista, it a horrible OS!
Im wating for Windows 7, and even then I'll set up a duel boot with XP on another partion or drive.
(while they patch up 7)

For graphics I have a 9800GT which is (lol) a rebagded 8800GT - they are the EXACT same card,
I knew this when I purchased it, but it was still rather rather Decpetive of Nvdia none the less.
Any way, Im thinking of upgrading to '200' Series card around Christmas.
