Hi.

I was just wondering wht the reccomended specs are for this game, to get good graphics, and a good FPS rate?

My PC is only just better than the Minimum so i'd like to know what sort of PC you'd need to run the game well, also if people know the Reccomended specs for 2k4 that'd be helpful aswell. Grin

Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz Northwood (With HT) Cooled by Zalman CNPS9500 LED - 2 x 512MB DDR RAM (PC3200) - 120 GB HDD - 128MB Nvidia GeForce FX5700 - Bluestorm 500w PSU&&&&Hopefully soon with RAID 0!

Hi Liam-

Most people here say to have a minimum of about 512mb of RAM, I can say that much.

My system specs are right there

<--------

and I've got absolutely no problems with F$ running. I generally get an average of 30 fps or so.

That tells me you could cut back on the system I've got and have few (if any) problems. (Unfortunately, I absolutely have to have the specs I've got or higher for other stuff the computer is used for. lol)

Great edit, Bob.&&&&&&Google it. &&&&www.google.com

You can see my specs at the bottom of this post.

I would say you need at least 256-320mb of ram, and 800mhz+ processor, and at least a Geforce2 class video card for smooth operation. If you are upgrading, check out the hardware forum, especially http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=hardw;action=display;num=1...
There, I've compaired some various Nvidia video cards along with their prices. You also have the choice of going for ATI's Radeon too.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

&&The Rig: &&AMD Athlon XP2000+ Palomino, ECS K7S5A 3.1, 1GB PC2700 DDR, Geforce FX5200 128mb, SB Live Platinum, 16xDVD, 16x10x40x CDRW, 40/60gb 7200rpm HDD, 325w Power, Windows XP Home SP1, Directx 9.0c with 66.81 Beta gfx drivers
