6GB RAM
Hello,
I bought SH 4, then realised that it needs 6GB RAM. Is this for real? I've got a basic PC with 3GB RAM. I don't think this game would even work on Deep Blue. Is there a way to get around this problem. At the moment the graphics simply won't move. OS Vista basic. 32 bit Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Thanks JWW |

No, it doesn't need it. I played it fine with 2gbs with my old system, use 4 now and little difference. Where did you read that, cause that's not the requirements.
You're a little weak with the video card for sure, try turning settings down. Other specs? |

A GF6100 will never run SH4 properly. I'm pretty amazed the game actually started with it. 3gb of ram on the other hand is more than enough, and with a 32bit OS you wouldn't be able to use much more anyway.

The CPU is: AMD Sempron(tm) 3000+ 1.6 GHz
I read the '6GB RAM' on the 'system requirements' on the back of the box. I was thinking about getting another graphics card, an ATI Radeon HD 4350 1GB, for example. What do you reckon? |

2 gigs of RAM is plenty. Your video card will die with this game. I had the GF6200 and it was awful. I got a EVGA 7800 GT. Highest I could go with a AGP set up. The CPU is a AMD3200+ Like 2.2 Ghz on it. Game played well. Some slow down So, your CPU might give you some trouble as well.

But I agree that the video card is low, I have a 7600GS and had to lower my settings. The 1.6 Mhz is low also, they say 2Ghz with 3 recommended. Maybe someone will jump in that has tried to play it on a 1.6. Try setting everything as low as it will go and give it a try. If you don't know, there are two places for settings. One on the main menu and another when you enter a campaign/career and enter an "office" (Captains Room) you click on a radio on the shelf to the left. With a GF7600 GS I can run on medium. But to try it out, if you can make it far enough into the game, select to start Outside the port. A lot of machines better than mine studder around bases. Good luck. Peabody
