But in "computerland" changes and progress happens very fast, that's why i dare to ask which computer i should by to play SH4?
Now i still play SH3 but am thinking to buy a new pc to be able to play SH4.
What do you recommend?
And which O.S. is the best, Vista or XP?

Thank you very much!

This going to be a difficult answer..
Afcourse a new 2000 dollar PC will do the job.

But I think if you don't have that kind of budget there are 2 things that are important for SH-IV..
* Get 2gb of memory.. this will make the game more playable.. especialy with loading times
* Get a good videocard. I would suggest an 8800 from nvidia or something similar fom Ati (thought it was a 2900. But I am a nvidia guy). Afcourse the older 7800, 7900 and new 8600 also work fine.

just buy a standard dual core processor, the game will run fine !
Like AMD's 4600+ or Intels E6300..

I only have a AMD XP 64 3200+ (no dual core) and this also runs fine with my XFX 8800 GTS and 2 GB memory.

In the end the big question is.. are you just buying a new PC for SHIV ?
Or do you want to prepare for the future ?

Buying a higher end PC never hurts (except for your wallet :rotfl: )

Hope it helps you on the way to your new PC.
