The info on the specs was useful, time to get the ball rolling on my upgrades.

CCIP · 01-19-07, 02:24 PM

Are you kidding? I only have less than two months to get myself ready?

The date looks right. 03/13 in the US and 03/16 in the UK has been out there for some time. Very strange regarding the specs though. Mimimum 512MB of RAM? It was a minimum of 1GIG a few weeks ago. I guess the DEVS have been doing some optomizing over the last few weeks. we'll see.

Well, I'm good at 1.5 gigs of ram, but my poor little 2.0 processor is right on the line. Video I'm ok on. So some things I'm very good on, others are borderline.

Only if it´s a Pentium 4, a 2GHz AMD CPU or Intel Core 2 Duo is much more powerful than a P4 at the same clock speed.

Just in time for my birthday, just like SHIII. Happy birthday to me . . . .

I would recommend all gamers have at the minimum 1 GB of Ram, which is what I have at the moment. 512 may hit the minimum specs but I am sure that will be barely sufficient, if at all.
Ram is cheap, get 2GB, it can make all the difference in the world.

Also I have a Geforce 6600 256MB, this is a low end card now and are very cheap. IMHO anything less than this class of card will limit your gaming experience.

As it is I have to run all newer games with most of the graphic options turned off.

My rig
AMD 64 3000
Geforce 6600 256MB
Sound Blaster Value
1 GB Ram

I bought this rig 2 years ago from CyberPower for just over $1000.(dirt cheap)
It was roughly mid range when I bought it, now it barely qualifies as a low end system.

Gizzmoe, will an AMD Athlon64 work? It runs at 2ghz, but also uses the cool and quiet tech too.

Perhaps is the same engine of sh3, but a bit improved.

512 is the minmimum i think, it means stutter,and very long load times
also consider the next mods of the comunity ...

the best is 1Gb or more with a decent graphic card and a + 2.0 gz cpu

I have a 3.0 Ghz P4 Processor, and 1.5 GB of DDR Ram (400 Mhz), so this should be enough to run SHIV. However, I am not so sure about my video card - it is an ATI Radeon 9600 All-In-Wonder TV Capture Card. It has no problems with SHIII, although my graphics are not as sharp as those in some of the screenshots in the SHIII forums. Does anyone know if this card will be sufficient for SHIV?
